I am professionally trained in treating anxiety & depressive disorders (mood disorders) & personality disorders. Over the years, I have helped individuals learn how to cope and manage emotional dysregulation, self-injurious behaviors and other high risk behaviors. As a DBT and Psychodynamically trained therapist, I work with individuals needing skills in regulating emotion, impulse control & ceasing self-harm as well as those seeking to gain life insights. My clinical background can help you build a life worth living, leading you to a better place.
I have worked extensively with CBT, DBT & Psychodynamic techniques. My training & experience as a DBT therapist has led me to successful treat borderline personality individuals in learning skills to decrease self-harm & impulsivity. My Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training allows me to work with individuals seeking to understand their life’s deeper meaning
My DBT experience enables me to use techniques where individuals are safely exposed to emotions in the office where they learn coping skills; to improve the quality of their lives. My Psychodynamic experience allows me to work with individuals to explore their past and present experiences to understand how these affect their present lives.
