Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 78216

Sometimes we can feel like we are settling for an unfulfilling life, yearning for freedom from the emotional pain that plagues us. We may feel that we are drowning in conflict, depression, and loneliness, as well as feeling scared and overwhelmed. Our wants and needs sound so simple, yet no matter what we do and what we try to change, it turns out to seem like it is just not that simple after all. We crave connection and intimacy, but sometimes our anxiety, sadness, fear, anger and relationships seem like obstacles to our goals, and the changes we want to make in our lives. Talking helps. There is hope, you are not alone.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? You want it to get easier, but it never does. Maybe you're feeling numb, on edge, or overwhelmed, your relationships are draining, and the stress of COVID-19 is making everything harder. Whatever your situation is, I’m committed to getting to the root of what's getting in the way so you can start building the life you deserve. I have helped hundreds of clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and divorce. Through our work together, you'll begin to stop blaming yourself and start creating healthier relationships.

I believe that through periods of difficulty and challenge lie great opportunities for personal growth and healing. Through a warm and supportive client-centered relationship an atmosphere of compassion and trust can develop that can help clients gain insights and develop the tools necessary to cope and thrive. I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and who desire healthier, more effective ways of coping with life and relationships. I enjoy helping clients through times of major transition such as adjustment to parenthood, divorce, grief, and empty-nest.

My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to what we decide you need out of therapy. It can be as structured or as free-flowing as you need. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other modalities. At the end of the day, I believe it's about a safe space for you to explore your experiences and to have support while you create the changes you want to make in your life. I always show up in all my humanness to give you the freedom to do the same and bring warmth, creativity, and humor into our sessions.

We all have an inner wisdom to heal. A reed, much like the story of the lotus flower, begins within murky environments and grows toward the sun through strength and flexibility to weather the storms. My intention within sessions is to build a safe, supported space to attune to any needs you have in your current journey. I welcome children, adolescents, adults, elders and couples. I am passionate about cultivating a collaborative, trauma informed and safe therapeutic space that is culturally responsive and attuned to your needs in this current journey.
