I support clients through anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT and motivational interviewing.
On the outside, you’re holding everything together—work, family, school, and relationships. But inside, you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched thin. You may be a professional, a mom, or a student trying to keep up with expectations while silently struggling. I help high-functioning women and young adults who are used to pushing through but are ready to feel more balanced, supported, and like themselves again. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

You may feel foggy, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Your thoughts and emotions may feel at odds, making it difficult to name what you feel, want, or need. Over time, this disconnection can start to feel like your “new normal.” Many of my clients come to therapy feeling off-track, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, longing to reconnect with themselves and live with greater clarity, alignment, and purpose.

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.
