I use an eclectic mix of CBT, DBT, Person Centered, Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Internal Family Systems, Trauma Informed, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, and Solution Focused modalities to treat a variety of issues.
I believe that people have within them what it takes to heal and to manage themselves. Sometimes we need some help unlocking our abilities and strengths to do so. Brene Brown wrote, “The power of self-compassion is the power to heal and transform.” I am here to help you have more grace and compassion for yourself. I create a comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere where you can be vulnerable enough to really see and heal yourself; to make lasting changes.

My approach to helping people is first trying to really get to know someone and understand what may not be working for them in their lives. We have all been there where sometimes we just don't know what is going on, all we know is that something is not in sync with what we want it to be. I am going to be honest and genuine during our time together and help you move towards changes you want. I love humor so prepare for us to have a few laughs during our sessions while we work together.

Life is an ocean voyage; however, the seas are not always calm. When the storms rage, we are tossed back and forth, the skies get dark, the ground seems unstable beneath us and it seems the storm will never end. This can create sea sickness and the belief that we could capsize at any time. When we fear the storms of life are going to overtake us, it is nice to have someone to partner with on the journey who can help us navigate through the storm to reach calm seas again.

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.
