Specialized Therapy for Lasting Change

Moving beyond surface-level symptoms to address the patterns of a lifetime.

If you feel like standard talk therapy has only scratched the surface, you’re likely right. I provide evidence-based treatment for adults who want to understand the “why” behind their emotional intensity and build a more stable, directed life.

Now Enrolling: Introduction to Mentalization Based Treatment

A 12-Week Roadmap for Your Mind

Before starting intensive individual work to improve self esteem, self-direction, and relationships, many clients benefit from MBT-I. This structured, 12-week introductory group teaches you the “language” of your emotions and relationships. You’ll learn how to stay “online” when stressed and how to better understand the intentions behind others’ actions.

Is this the right fit for you?

I work best with adults who recognize themselves in these patterns:

  • Identity & Self-Direction: You struggle with a “shaky” sense of who you are or find it hard to stick to your own life goals.

  • Relationship Patterns: You experience recurring conflict, feel misunderstood by others, or have difficulty building deep, stable intimacy.

  • Emotional Intensity: You experience “waves” of emotions that feel out of proportion or lead to impulse actions you later regret.

  • The “Partial Relief” Cycle: You’ve tried therapy before, but the same underlying patterns keep returning.

Specialized Approaches I Offer

I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. We will choose the evidence-based tool that best matches your unique assessment and goals:

  • Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT): Helps improve understanding of your own mind and how you relate to others. It helps you stay “online” and curious even when experiencing strong emotions.

  • Exposure-Based CBT: For those struggling with Anxiety, Panic, or OCD. We work systematically to face the situations you’ve been avoiding, helping you build genuine confidence and shrink the power fear holds over your life.

  • DBT-Informed Treatment: Teaches you how and when to use practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions and tolerated distress without impulsive or self-sabotaging actions.

  • Trauma-Focused Care: Specialized protocols (like, CPT, PE, or WET) to process past experiences so they stop interrupting your present-day sense of safety.

The Process

  1. Initial Consultation: We’ll discuss your history (or your assessment results) to see if specialized therapy is the right match.

  2. Targeted Planning: We identify specific goals—like stabilizing mood or improving a core relationship—and choose the evidence-based approach that fits.

  3. Active Sessions: Our work is goal-directed and collaborative. You aren’t just “talking”; you are building skills.

Insurance & Affordability: I am an out-of-network provider. To make care more accessible, I use Mentaya to automate your reimbursements. Most clients receive roughly 62% back on their sessions.

Scope of Practice

To provide the highest quality of specialized care, I do not provide:

  • Crisis intervention or emergency services.

  • Couples or family therapy (I work exclusively with individuals)

  • If you need these services, I am happy to provide referrals to trusted specialists.
