Hi all and congratulations on taking the courageous step toward healing. I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a specialized focus on attachment wounds, complex relational trauma, and processing family dynamics across the lifespan. My person-centered approach allows us to delve into deep-seated patterns that often underpin trauma responses and impact self-worth and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. I believe that trauma and life stressors affect both the brain and body. For deep healing to occur, we must first connect with ourselves, develop positive coping skills, and attune to our nervous system.

As a psychologist, I work collaboratively to build deeper self-understanding, loosen patterns that no longer serve, and move toward a more meaningful and values-aligned life. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—one in which you feel safe bringing your full self into the room while we work together toward observable, sustainable change. Together, we look at how current concerns are shaped by relationships, life context, and past experiences, while also developing practical skills to manage emotions, respond differently to stress, and increase psychological flexibility.

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.
