Think: certified in EMDR, foundationally trained in DBT, and never behind on my CEUs.
I know a thing or two about overwhelm and the chaos it causes in your life. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I help Huntsville’s young professionals get unstuck, improve their relationships & emotions, and live with joy. I provide evidence-based psychotherapy including traditional Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I keep my caseload small and offer comprehensive care and support to clients, including phone coaching between sessions as needed.
In our DBT skills training group, we learn the standard four modules of DBT skills: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. The group meets weekly for 6 - 12 months, depending on the unique needs of the client and follows Marsha Linehan's standard DBT protocol closely. Group members are supported by group facilitators, as well as, by fellow group members, in a motivated, compassionate, and calm environment.

I have witnessed transformative outcomes from DBT and would be honored to guide you in your process of healing.
Many clients I see come in after suffering significantly from riding the highs and lows of intense emotional ups and downs and are in search of learning new coping skills, or strengthening existing ones. Some of these folks suffer from self-harming behaviors, suicidality, addiction, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, or anxiety and depression. The common thread among them, however, is the desire to not only more skillfully regulate their emotions, but to ultimately build a life that they want to live, not just one that they simply are trying to endure.
You are in luck our next Adult virtual DBT class starts October15th 2024! This class will help you: * Be able to express yourself in a way that will help you get your needs met *Learn how to decrease the length and intensity of distressing thoughts, emotions and urges * Cultivate your own sense of wellbeing by increasing your self-respect and building healthy connections with others * Learn how to release judgments of yourself and others.

I use a variety of treatment modalities including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, & Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
Seeking counseling is a very personal decision. Finding the right provider can be the most important step in the healing process. I believe I have helped so many clients because I use an array of tools and methods which I tailor to a client's unique goals. My approach is to work hard to understand a client's perspective and values. Sometimes this means helping the client explore and discover what that is for themselves. I lead AND follow - I may prompt, encourage, and confront, but I follow a client's pace (willingness and readiness) to delve into the issues.
In our Adolescent DBT skills training group, we learn the standard four modules of DBT skills: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance, adapted specifically for adolescents ( DBT-A).

Struggles in life are not a matter of if, but when. They also come in a multitude of severity and nearly every one of us will, at some point, need help from outside sources. Sometimes, maybe that's just an ear to listen or an objective, caring voice of reason. No matter what you are experiencing, you don't have to face it alone. Together, we will work to get you and/or your loved ones through these difficult times. Your safety, daily functioning, and optimal well-being are my top priorities. Let's talk about it. Wherever you are in life, that is where we'll begin.
Parenting is tough especially when you feel unsupported and alone. It takes two and sometimes a village to raise healthy, happy, successful children. But it is not always easy to parent following a breakup or divorce. I am here to help you learn & implement skills that lead to healthy co-parenting relationships with your child's "other parent". You might not think this is important: but, your child(ren) will love you for it! Groups are limited to 10; preferably 5 couples but not required. Individual parents are welcome. Call to see how you can begin parenting "better together".

Everyone has felt the pain of betrayal, guilt, shame, rejection, and discouragement. Life and family interactions present challenges. You and your family are unique; but the issues and challenges you face are shared by others. We're human. We need to feel loved and supported. We need to enjoy life! But sometimes, life gets in the way. I am here to help you and your family successfully manage and overcome life's challenges and seize life's opportunities. I believe that hope for the future, healing from the past and the ability to enjoy everyday life is possible and occurs in the context of healthy relationships.
All age mothers and daughters are encouraged to support and learn from other mother-daughter pairs. The group will explore relationship challenges that are unique to mothers and daughters. Topics like expectations, disappointment, forgiveness, quality time, responsibility, dating, and parenting will be addressed.

PTSD doesn't develop only in those people who have experienced combat. You need a counselor who is aware of the many facets and forms of trauma and how they shape the person you are and how you experience the symptoms of PTSD. Veterans often have difficulty in working with therapists because many therapists have never experienced the military culture and the chaotic world of warfare. Having a therapist who is also a combat veteran enhances client trust, progress, and the working alliance. Having a counselor who is also aware of the trauma of Domestic Violence enhances your progress. I am very sensitive to the needs of PTSD people.
I am conducting Dialectical behavioral therapy ( DBT) skills training classes that are run on a 12 week curriculum. DBT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective in treating borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control, substance dependence, and self-harm behavior. The goal of this group is to increase well-being by helping clients learn to manage intense emotions, cope with challenging situations, and improve their relationships. New members must be currently in weekly individual therapy outside of this skills class. This group is 18+ and insurance is accepted!

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Support Groups
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
