I am a licensed social worker and psychotherapist working with adolescent and adult populations. My focus is to help clients understand, on an emotional and intellectual level, how their behaviors and life circumstances are affected by their thoughts and emotions. The genesis of my work is to help clients tune into their thoughts. By working on consciously changing thought patterns, clients learn to modulate their emotions and behaviors.  

My private practice has been immeasurably enriched by my intensive DBT training. DBT's focus on mindfulness resonates with my therapeutic approach, and I am constantly working on my own mindfulness awareness. Additionally, I use of concepts of acceptance and change to guide my therapeutic approach. I offer individual DBT therapy as well as group skills training.

Additionally, I am trained in EFT and work with couples struggling in their relationship.  I  focus on attachment needs and ruptures to help couples understand and reach for each other on an emotional level.
