Do you feel strong, intense, emotions and it's affecting your life? Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and untangle the different parts of your life. During our time together, we will explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain insight into the things going on in your life. We will then work to equip you with the tools you need to build a life you envision for yourself and adapt to adversity. I provide a safe space to be seen, heard and to receive support. In addition, my approach to therapy is solution focused so that we can construct solutions to stressors in your life. If you are ready to take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, contact me today to schedule a consultation. I specialize in the treatment of personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder & Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). My treatment approach draws largely from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, treatment is tailored to each person's needs. Using the CBT model, we can target specific areas of concern and equip you with the tools you need to find relief. CBT is an evidence-based modality that looks at how emotions, behaviors and thoughts are interrelated. CBT is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session. Whereas, DBT is a modality that is used to address deep and intense emotions. DBT equips you with coping skills in interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, distress tolerance and emotional regulation. DBT works with individuals to help them find ways to manage their negative emotions so they can feel balanced, in control and able to interact respectfully and successfully. Although not an exhaustive list, I am trained in the following modalities: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Parenting through Change—Reunification (PTC-R) Family Centered Treatment (FCT) Trauma Therapy Motivational Interviewing
