I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, some strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Strength Based Therapy.
After 30+ years of experience, I’ve found that individuals are extremely resilient but often life can create very painful and complex problems that are difficult to navigate. I aim to provide a safe environment where clients receive the support, encouragement and space to talk through any challenges they face. To find their own voice and empower them to make decisions that will serve them not just in this moment, but for the rest of their lives. Allowing clients to recognize their own strength, uniqueness and to trust their own voice. It is an honor to bear witness to an individuals journey towards mental health wellness.

My goal is to create a genuine, collaborative relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we navigate life's challenges together. While we cannot always control what happens to us, we can explore how to respond in ways that align with our values, strengths, and sense of purpose. I approach therapy with curiosity, authenticity, and compassion, recognizing that every person's story is shaped not only by their individual experiences but also by their relationships, culture, identity, and the larger systems they live within.

You’re not sure exactly when it happened. But recently, you’ve begun to feel like the spark in your relationship has fizzled out. It’s painful to remember the love and excitement you shared early on and how far you are from that now. You tell yourself that things will get easier, and the relationship will improve by itself. When this doesn’t happen, you begin to wonder if this is just how marriage is supposed to be. Maybe every relationship becomes stagnant eventually. But you’re not ready to give up that easily. You’re determined to reclaim the healthy, thriving relationship you both deserve – you’re just unsure how to achieve it.

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.
