*** Waitlist for ACT clients only, RO DBT waitlist closed.
I specialize in disorders of emotional overcontrol and perfectionism.
My approach incorporates ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and RO DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
Treatment with me focuses on improving psychological flexibility, acceptance of thoughts and emotions, mindful and valued living, and social connections. I treat adults age 18+. I provide individual therapy and lead psychoeducation classes to provide guidance on emotions, thoughts, social connection and coping skills.
