All of us have experiences, feelings, and behaviors we cannot always explain, control, or understand about ourselves. I view therapy as a valuable opportunity to learn about our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, experiences, and develop healthier coping skills so that we can feel better about ourselves and interact more effectively in the world around us. In our work together I will offer you strategies to enhance your life through the use of mindfulness, behavioral, and cognitive techniques. My approach is direct, compassionate, empowering, and non-judgmental.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Women's Studies (2002) from Agnes Scott College and a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University (2005). I have been practicing Dialectical Behavior Therapy for fifteen years and have been intensively trained in DBT through Behavioral Tech.
