My training in DBT has provided me with experience and skills to treat personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder. I use DBT to help these individuals tolerate difficult emotions, regulate their emotions, and improve their interpersonal skills. I have experience with individuals who also engage in self-injury.

I have experience in working with individuals who experience all levels of depression, including suicidal ideation and attempts. I work with these individuals to build positive experiences and develop coping skills to tolerate uncomfortable emotions.

I have experience working with individuals who have eating disorders, disordered eating, and/or body image issues. I follow a "health at any size" model and "all foods fit model" while using DBT techniques to assist individuals in tolerating their discomfort.

ACT and DBT go very nicely together so I use them together very frequently. ACT helps individuals understand their values and behave in ways that are aligned with those values. It also helps individuals with issues with control.

I have specialized training in DBT and have been practicing this therapy for 3+ years. I use this therapy to help individuals tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal communication by providing individuals with concrete skill building.

I have training in CBT which provides individuals with cognitive reframing and helps with things such as negative self-talk.

I work with individual clients to gain insight into communication patterns and attachment styles and how that effects their relationships. I provide ways to effectively communicate boundaries, saying "no", as well as thoughts, feelings, and needs.

I work with individuals to reduce the impact of anxiety on their lives by introducing effective coping strategies.
