Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·LCSWAbout
Are you struggling with stress, big emotions, or relationship issues? Are you hoping for more peace, clarity, and a healthier relationship with yourself? DBT can help. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach that teaches concrete tools to regulate emotions, reduce overwhelm, and build a life that feels more stable and meaningful. DBT offers practical, everyday strategies for staying present, communicating effectively, managing intense feelings, and making choices that move you toward the life you want. I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. I am deeply committed to the DBT approach because I have witnessed the profound impact these skills have had in helping people build lives that are meaningful and aligned with their core values. And I want that for you too. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change is possible—and that everyone deserves the chance to thrive. If you're interested in learning how you can benefit from DBT, please reach out for a short consultation and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have.
