About Us

I fundamentally believe everyone, given the right tools, has the ability to thrive and fully experience life. Using DBT, I will immediately provide you with transformative skills to navigate stressful life circumstances, adapt to and stabilize dysregulated emotions, and that will encourage you to create the changes you envision. DBT is a short-term therapy, with long-term benefits. My focus is working with adolescents and adults, both individually and in groups, with mood disorders, anxiety/panic disorders, depression, suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and in need of crisis intervention. , I incorporate psychodynamic theories and CBT and feel my success with clients is strengthened by utilizing different skill sets and theoretical frameworks, as applicable. I believe that with a non-judgmental environment, deep empathetic listening, and honest exploration, we can collaboratively search for the understanding of complex internal issues. , I use an evidence-based approach that I have learned through my Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Emory University. I completed DBT training at the University of Pennsylvania and through Behavioral Tech.
