Over the past 30 years,  I have provided therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and their families, offering deep clinical expertise, compassion, and a strong understanding of developmental and relational dynamics.  I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), and EMDR.   

I spent 18 years working in residential treatment programs,  as senior clinician and later as program director.  In these roles, I supported youth and families with complex needs, trained multidisciplinary teams, created therapeutic programming, and helped build safe, structured environments.  For the past 16 years, I have maintained a private practice where I continue to support, youth, adults, and their families.  

I enjoy supporting clients in developing an awareness of their maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors, and teaching  adaptive behaviors to increase distress tolerance and the ability to regulate emotion.
