About
Do you struggle with your emotions? Do you experience either intense emotions (e.g. guilt, sadness, anger) or suppressed emotions? Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has been demonstrated to help regulate emotions. DBT can help calm emotional storms, increase enjoyable emotions and experiences, decrease unhelpful behaviours and coping strategies, and foster and improve positive relationships. Imagine what your life would be like if you had more balanced emotions, clear thinking even in challenging situations, and fulfilling relationships with others.
I am calm, validating, non-judgmental, and also willing to challenge you to become your best self. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from the skills taught through DBT. I use them myself and have found them to be highly effective.
Picture what life would be like with robust and flourishing relationships, balanced thoughts and emotions, and sound strategies to handle whatever challenges come your way. Life can be fulfilling and enjoyable. You can get there. It will take hard work, make no mistake! And, you can absolutely accomplish this!
