Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Lewisville, NC
Using CBT and DBT, I help clients understand their patterns, regulate emotions, and respond differently in the moments that matter most—so they can experience real, lasting change.
My ideal clients are individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional intensity. They often feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, struggle with boundaries, or feel overwhelmed in their relationships. Even when they’re holding everything together, something still feels off. I help them understand their patterns, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My passion is serving the LatinX community whenever possible. I also enjoy working with new parents who are expecting their first child or just welcomed their first child into their family. This time in life is very tender but can also create anxiety, stress, relationship tension, and bring up one's own childhood wounds as parents step into this new role. Working with couples in relationship distress, especially within the LatinX community, is an area of passion and purpose for me. In addition, I work with older teens and adults on a variety of struggles including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief/loss.

You've been carrying more than most people will ever see. Maybe you've worked hard to create a meaningful life, but still feel emotionally disconnected or spiritually dry. You hold yourself to high standards and rarely ask for help, leading to a quiet kind of burnout. You keep pushing, trying harder, telling yourself to be grateful, but it's exhausting. And no achievement seems to produce the self-worth you've been chasing. Lately, you may be wondering, does it have to be this way?

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.
