I have spent over 18 years working in the field of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), providing quality care that is based on research, helping people make those really difficult changes that have seemed nearly insurmountable. I have offered Comprehensive DBT to adults, adolescents and families, seeing them in individual and family sessions, as well as in groups. I am a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician, currently in Retired Status.

I also have experience and training utilizing other EBP's such as Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT,) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion- Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution- Focused Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE.)

During these years, I have spent a great deal of time working with those affected by Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD.) I have worked individually with those having the Disorder, as well as working closely with family members learning to cope with a loved one with BPD. Working with these individuals has taught me how hope, perseverance and the right tools can heal relationships and change lives for the better.
