Are you working really hard at life without the outcomes you want? It can feel exhausting. Without the ability to effectively manage and cope with life's demands, a person's world can become a place filled with missed opportunities and experiences; a place of unrelenting anxiety, suffering and feelings of isolation. Change is hard and change is possibIe. It's about learning skills to do differently to live differently in a manner of your choosing. I'm a therapist who uses behavior-focused, outcome-driven treatments to address the symptoms of OCD, OCPD, PTSD, anorexia nervosa, anxiety and depression to increase quality in your life.
I specialize in Radically Open DBT and the diagnoses and unwanted life outcomes that result from extremes of over control of thoughts, emotions and actions. I have also trained specifically to work with survivors of all types of abuse. To share in the experience of empowerment that comes from the awareness of choice is my greatest motivator to do this work.
My clients have been working so hard at everything and yet, they often feel hurt, alone and so tired from the ways in which they have coped so far. A lot just does not make sense. Life feels invalidating and outcomes confirm it. I am honored, humbled and inspired by the courage of those who seek treatment despite feeling anxious, depressed and exhausted.
