Do you struggle with suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, self-sabotaging behaviors, or unhealthy coping strategies? Are you motivated to build a life worth living that is satisfying and fulfilling? DBT & CBT provide individuals with a plethora of coping strategies to help feel more in control of their emotional and behavioral responses to distress. Skills focus on increasing self-awareness, impulse control, emotion regulation, and interpersonal communication. You've struggled long enough. It's time to build confidence and emotional resilience for a better, healthier you.

Currently, accepting clients for individual psychotherapy & for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills groups for adolescents and families, as well as for adults. Groups are small to allow for more individualized attention and learning. Groups involve mindfulness practice, skills teaching, and application / generalization.

Please contact me for a free phone consultation to see if CBT or DBT group would be a beneficial addition to your current treatment plan. No matter what you've experienced in the past, the present moment is in YOUR control. Choose the course you want for yourself...and let me know if I can help you along that journey.
