Methods include traditional aspects such as CBT and
DBT
approaches as well EMDR and Hypnotherapy.
Depression, anger, anxiety, and a a multitude of other conditions can be the result of traumatic experiences that an individual has survived. These experiences untreated however, can severely impact the quality of life that someone was accustomed to previously. There is hope in navigating these situations and restoring a sense of balance and growth, instead of being stuck in a cyclical pattern. I do currently have daytime appointments available and limited availability for weekends and evenings. I also offer telehealth services.

, RO-

, and other modalities, I can teach you new skills to enhance your progress towards your goals.
Have you not felt like your authentic self? I want to help you get back to that space and create a life that meets your definition of success. If you find your behaviors unmanageable, you may benefit from learning how to regulate your emotions, tolerate distress, and healthily express your needs while maintaining respect towards yourself and others. If you find that you excessively inhibit your behaviors, you may benefit from learning how to open yourself up to new experiences, adopt flexible control, and increase intimacy and social connectedness. Through mindfulness, you can learn to be more present in your life and relationships.

Who is DBT for?
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.
