Areas of Competency
Below I’ve listed clinical issues, disorders, and diagnoses that I have the most experience and competency treating. My competency is based on prior clinical experience with clients, formal supervision under seasoned mentors, trainings, classes, review of evidence-based and peer reviewed publications, and consultation with other professionals. I also meet weekly with a team of 4 other therapists who specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. This collaboration and ongoing education ensures that I provide ethical and evidence-based treatment.
