Life presents us all with challenges at times.
Counseling can help.
Everyone experiences stress, feels difficult emotions, or faces strain or distance in their relationships. Counseling offers a supportive, structured space to work through these challenges with clarity, perspective, and practical tools. Therapy is not about eliminating discomfort or finding perfect answers, but about learning how to respond more effectively when life feels hard or uncertain.
Psychotherapy focuses on understanding patterns that keep you stuck and building skills that support meaningful change. Clients learn to regulate emotions, tolerate uncertainty, and make values-based choices that lead to greater resilience and a more workable, aligned life.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York (LMHC-D), and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am the author of DBT for Dating Workbook.
I work with adults (24+) in individual and couples therapy, as well as DBT skills groups. My approach is practical, collaborative, and evidence-based, with a focus on helping clients regulate emotions, reduce avoidance, and build resilience through skill-building and real-world change.
I aim to provide a steady, thoughtful therapeutic space—one that balances compassion with clarity and helps clients move forward with greater confidence and perspective. Feel free to reach out with questions or to schedule a consultation to assess fit.

Hello!
Services
Individual Therapy
People begin therapy for many reasons—feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, navigating loss or major decisions, coping with anxiety or painful emotions, or working toward meaningful change. Reaching out can feel difficult, but therapy offers a structured, supportive space to slow things down, gain clarity, and move forward more effectively.
Relationship Therapy
Being in a relationship requires self-awareness, accountability, and flexibility. When couples feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotional distance, or difficult decision points, relationship therapy can help clarify patterns, reduce reactivity, and support more effective communication.
DBT Skills Group + DBT Grad Group
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people build practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and staying grounded under stress. DBT is based on the principle that meaningful change happens by balancing acceptance of what is with intentional efforts to change what isn’t working.

I tend to be a good fit for clients who:
Struggle with anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress that shows up as overthinking, avoidance, or emotional intensity
Feel capable on the outside but stuck, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside

Have difficulty tolerating uncertainty, imperfection, or uncomfortable emotions
Want to live more in line with their values, even when it means doing hard things
Are ready to practice skills between sessions and apply therapy to daily life
Appreciate nuance and complexity rather than black-and-white answers
