Wanna feel understood and actually connected—not just “getting by”? I support couples and individuals who want deeper connection, healthier communication, and real change. At The Healing Circle, my approach is structured, compassionate, and focused on practical tools you can use right away. My approach is relatable and real—I know most couples come to therapy tired, frustrated, and out of ideas. I use Gottman for quick wins that build hope and EFT for deeper, lasting connection, giving you both something you can feel now and grow from long-term.

You have it all together, but on the inside, you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and internally falling apart. You're the strong on. The dependable one. The one who keeps going no matter what. But underneath all of that, something is hurting, and you're tired of carrying it alone. Many of the women I work with are high-functioning, deeply caring, and used to putting everyone else first. They're not falling apart on the outside, but they're struggling on the inside. If that sounds like you, I want you to know: I see you, and this work is for you.

Families, formed of blood or love, contribute to what shapes us. I help families heal and deal. Couples — married/not, same‑sex/not, platonic/romantic — get tangled in webs; I help unweave them. They may settle into parallel lines, and sometimes they part ways. Either way, there is healing. That is the work we do together. When at the end of your rope, holding on can hinder progress. Together we can plan your landing and cut the rope. And, if needed, take a step backward, because a step backward is still a step. We can change the view and the narrative. Healing begins at the side‑door, where I’m waiting for you with the light on.

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.
