With a foundation of mindfulness, CBT, DBT, I have been successful in helping others to challenge their current patterns of thinking and better recognize the perceived barriers that can interfere with a stable mood and relationships. This can be accomplished through slowing down, making changes in how we process our thoughts using talk therapy, worksheets, and skill building. Let's get started!

A quote by DBT guru, Marsha Linehan, Ph.D, LMSW reads, "People may not have caused all of their own problems, but they have to solve them anyway." It can be liberating to process through buried emotions and deep thoughts that can take way from a life worth living. With DBT and CBT, you will learn effective ways to improve self-esteem and better regulation of your thoughts and mood. Prioritize you!
