I have experience working with clients facing depression, using crisis de-escalation and suicide prevention skills. My training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients manage depressive symptoms. I also value behavioral activation, mindfulness practices, and the power of validation and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, I work casually with a Mobile Crisis Response team, offering support to individuals during crises.

I have extensive experience working with clients facing relationship challenges, including toxic dynamics, trauma bonds, codependency, and attachment issues. With a background in couples therapy, I offer insights into navigating complex relationship dynamics and fostering healthier connections. I also work with individuals impacted by domestic violence, addressing cycles of abuse, power, and control. My approach is empathetic, creating a safe space for growth and healing in relationships.

I specialize in working with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). With training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and crisis management, I help clients navigate intense emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more stable, fulfilling life. My approach is compassionate and tailored, focusing on building resilience and enhancing emotional regulation.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on challenging distorted thinking and adopting healthier behaviors, making it effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. By transforming unhelpful thoughts and actions, clients can achieve significant improvements in their emotional well-being and quality of life.

I’m trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps individuals accept difficult emotions and commit to actions aligned with their values. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility by teaching mindfulness and self-compassion, while encouraging clients to pursue meaningful goals despite challenges. It’s effective for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, fostering a more fulfilling and value-driven life.

I’m trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness to teach skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It's especially effective for those struggling with emotional dysregulation, self-harm, or impulsive behaviors, offering tools to navigate challenges with greater resilience and balance.

I understand how low self-esteem can impact many areas of life, from relationships to career and personal growth. Together, we’ll work on building a stronger sense of self, embracing your unique strengths, and challenging the negative beliefs that hold you back. Using supportive tools from mindfulness and acceptance practices, I’ll help you develop confidence and resilience to approach life’s challenges with greater self-assurance and compassion.
