As part of the therapeutic process, I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) modality to help individuals understand the symptoms they are experiencing and ways to overcome them.
My style is to listen thoroughly, yet to interact with my clients. I think that your past may offer clues to understanding the current obstacles to happiness, but I do not dwell there. I like to think that a solid relationship between my client and myself is the key to progress.I believe change occurs when people are willing to try new ways of acting with support. My primary focus is to develop a solution-based plan to foster positive progress. Additionally, I am trained in Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) and use this to help families realize their strengths and accomplish their goals.

I primarily utilize behavioral therapies (CBT & DBT) with a psychodynamic framework and an overarching Humanistic lens.
Addiction is complicated. For a long time, society has stigmatized those struggling with addiction, assuming that "addicts" are just bad people who lack the willpower to stop. This couldn't be further from the truth. Addiction doesn't just happen. It is the unfortunate (and unintended) result of trying to alleviate or avoid emotional pain, emptiness, and disconnection; experiences often associated with trauma. This perspective applies to substance addictions and addictive behaviors including sex, pornography, gambling, video games, workaholism, shopping, or any other form of chronic escapism that results in negative consequences.

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.
