I have clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, and other disorders involving social-emotional dysregulation. Our team is intensely trained in comprehensive DBT including weekly individual session and weekly individual session. Additionally, I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eating disorders, and OCD. I start with meeting you where you are at and understanding the challenges you are facing.
