Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Lakeview, Stockton, CA

I offer expertise in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach that integrates cultural factors as appropriate. I was raised in an inner-city, urban area, and I carry a high level of understanding for individuals that come from marginalized environments like myself. I also specialize in professional and work stress. I have been a business owner, philanthropist, and investor for almost 30 years. I have experience with high output career stress and how it can affect us.

It is helpful for all of us to develop the skills that enable us to step back from emotion-laden life events (both good and bad) in order to gain perspective and insight. This allows us to interact optimally with those in our lives who can significantly impact our well-being. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes self-exploration and the development of insight into our own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. Identifying the potential "whys" behind our actions and reactions can be empowering in the context of personal change and development.

Beginning therapy takes courage, and I feel a direct and simplistic approach can help alleviate the struggle brought on by work, relationships, and personal challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing struggles brought on by the pandemic and/or a variety of mental health disorders. A client's goals can be defined in session and issues may be intertwined when explored in more detail. My style of therapy is adaptable to the need of the client. By working together we can gain a better understanding of your past to create a more optimistic future.

Everyone needs a safe and nonjudgmental place where they feel comfortable sharing their unique life story. Many times we stay in negative situations, because of our past, or we are afraid of taking a risk into the unknown. This is due to creating thoughts that prevent us from living the life we want. Being able to identify our thoughts can lead us to make better choices, feeling more empower leading to self-esteem development and improvement. I can be a tool to help you identify your thoughts as well as your emotions in order to make positive life decisions in a safe and confidential environment.

"Breathe". Enter into therapy from the stressors of life... Beneath our outer body, we get to enter into a place where we can choose to discover the meaning of what life can offer while understanding that choice is a freeing action. There is a saying "I am 100% responsible for myself, my recovery, my actions, my choices, and my well-being." Learning to change through a strong therapeutic alliance, one can feel safe, supported, and be in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
