Using empirical-based treatment modalities, such as Exposure/Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement, I guide clients on the exploration of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that facilitate the development of greater insight and effective coping strategies.
Are your fears keeping you from reaching your highest potential? Are you struggling with frightening, intrusive thoughts? Do you feel overwhelmed and tired of carrying a heavy burden alone? Fears can cause us a great deal of pain. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional if you have the right mindset. Whether you struggle with emotional distress or are interested in personal growth, using evidence-based practices, I will guide you on a path of problem exploration and assist you in eliciting your own solutions and overcoming fears that have held you back. Let me guide you on a journey of recovery.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists

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.
