Dissociation is something we all experience from time to time, but we often overlook it in therapy. In my work, I help clients identify their dissociative experiences and learn to work to regain full awareness of life through mindfulness practice, working with dissociative parts, and sensorimotor work.

I am trained to work with the entire spectrum of personality disorders. My practice utilizes evidenced based treatments to treat and manage personality traits that get in the way of living a fulfilling life including DBT, Radically Open DBT, and Mentalization based treatment. My approach tend to be honest, down to earth, and direct.

Post traumatic stress can be addressed with EMDR for single event traumas or with an integrative approach for complex traumas that imclude a variety of traumatic events. My integrative approach pulls from sensorimotor, mindfulness, parts work, and mentalization strategies to help client find meaning within their symptoms and work towards fully healing years of wounds that may otherwise continue impacting my clients lives.

Mindfulness is at the core of every client session in my practice. Every therapeutic intervention will pull from something mindfulness based to increase insight, decrease reactivity, and allow for acceptance.

As I am trained in a number of evidence based treatments, I pull from all of these depending on ever individual clients needs to tailor treatment for them and address their unique struggles.

Whether we are working with the originl DBT program to address impusivity or the Radically Open DBT program to work through overcontrolled behaviors, these skills are incredibly helpful with managing behaviors that stand in our way of happiness and success.
