current availability: Interns with a sliding pay scale. Hey there! I believe in affordable and accessible mental health care, so I founded a nonprofit 5 years ago to support our community and bring a new approach to therapy. I believe in supporting clients from a. more straightforward, yet strength-based approach based on theories such as DBT, narrative, and EFT. Together, we'll work collaboratively to explore patterns that no longer serve you and work on steps towards healing. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and work with those struggling with eating disorders, self injury, suicide ideation and other concerns. I utilize core components of DBT, including Mindfulness: Cultivating present-moment awareness to observe thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Emotion Regulation: Learning to identify, understand, and manage intense emotions in healthy and adaptive ways and Interpersonal Effectiveness: Developing assertiveness skills to support relationships If you are ready to step into your healing by deconstructing parts of your world that aren't serving you or feeling safe, I am the therapist for you. We are proactive in understanding our emotions and how the narratives we developed growing up impact us now and begin to rewrite the story we choose to be our authentic selves. **Specialties:** I work closely with those struggling with eating disorders, self-injury and suicide ideation. I have worked with all ages around these concerns. I have developed a strong alliance with fellow community service providers to create a wrap-around team to support clients in their healing.
