Therapists in Mount Pleasant, SC

Along with the clinical team at Charleston DBT Associates, I offer comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for both adult and adolescent clients. DBT brings together Eastern Mindfulness techniques and Western clinical principles to create behavioral change in a warm therapeutic environment. DBT is the transaction between Zen contemplative practice and behavior therapy, held together with a dialectical philosophy. This dialectical stance works to find what is adaptive in even the most maladaptive behaviors, to assist clients in creating the emotional and behavioral changes needed to build a life worth living.

My first mentor in the field of counseling told me, “You can't take anyone to where you've never been.” This sage advice has stayed with me for the 30-plus years that I have had the privilege of operating in this profession. These words have encouraged me to continue my own journey of self-exploration and healing and then, in turn, helped me to be more equipped to offer and support in the healing relationships that I have been privileged to play a role in over the years.
