I believe in the resiliency of the human being and our ability to overcome and change.  To bend but not break. Therapy is a collaborative effort and my approach is integrative to meet the individual where they are within a supportive, safe and open space to engage. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training in my practice. In your initial sessions, we will explore your needs to determine the most appropriate modality, clarify your values and identify your goals. With ACT, during treatment, I will help you to develop psychological flexibility and to take actions in your life according to your identified values.  I welcome you to contact me for a consultation to further discuss your needs and services.
