I’m passionate about helping people who are struggling with the weight of past trauma—whether from childhood or adulthood—and feel stuck in patterns they desperately want to change. Trauma shapes how we view ourselves, others, and the world, often without us realizing it. This can leave us feeling like life should be different, yet no matter what we try, things stay the same. It’s exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore how your past influences your present. Together, we’ll break free from old patterns so you can experience lasting healing and freedom.

Often, we struggle to communicate in times of need or feel stuck or unsure about how to express our feelings. “Communication is key” isn’t just a saying—it’s the foundation of meaningful connection and emotional well-being. Communication is a way to advocate for ourselves while connecting to others. In a fast-paced world, therapy offers a space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.

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.
