Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 46055

As a person centered therapist, I will follow your lead and call on techniques from many theories to assist you in reaching your mental health goals. I have experience utilizing CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, play therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and attachment theory. I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment for you to process.

I work with clients by creating a safe space to explore, discover and express personal truths so that they are free to be and accept the best version of themselves and their partners or families. I help to foster emotional discovery, recognize communication barriers and prompt discussions that yield necessary positive change within both the self and within relational connections to others. I help clients to not only identify their personal truths, needs, and boundaries but to learn ways to recognize and accept the same in their relationship with partners or family.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS I want you to know, you are not alone and you don't have to do this by yourself. I'm a firm believer in therapy, what it can do for the mind, body and soul. I believe that our childhood trauma can be a huge impact on our adult life. It is resiliency that gets us through it. No matter where life has taken you, you can heal and move forward. I have over 10 years of experience. My experience ranges from working with individuals with intellectual abilities, group facilitation, domestic violence advocacy, therapy and public health social work.

My heart is to help individuals and families in need. I am passionate about helping the broken, the lonely, and those in pain. I believe in a person-first approach in which we work together to help address needs and solve problems.

I believe that while pain is inevitable, suffering is not. Suffering is pain plus all the reactions, feelings, judgments, and ways of coping that add to the experience of pain. No one wants pain or suffering, but what if your methods for dealing with them haven’t worked—and may even have complicated matters? Welcome to the human race!—and to therapy where a professional perspective makes the difference.

We can often feel controlled by our emotions, struggling to think clearly, and simply reacting, rather than directing our own life path. It can feel like a tornado of thoughts quickly swirling, leaving us feeling tense and discouraged that life could look any different. We usually just want everything to slow down and feel more at peace. The goal is to provide you with the tools for this to happen so you can move forward with confidence to live a more positive and balanced life.
