I enjoy working with men, women, and couples experiencing life transitions and crises. Many of my adult clients are not experiencing a crisis currently. Still, they are trying to unravel the effects of a dysfunctional childhood or lost relationship, which might show up today as hypervigilance, depression, anger, or reactivity. My approach incorporates healing for the mind, soul, and body. Trauma rewires the brain for survival, and many of my clients are ready to quit living in survival mode and re-train their brains to live authentically.

By building on your strengths and using tools from Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and DBT, you’ll unlock self-love, set healthier boundaries, and find your voice.
Somewhere along the line, you lost touch with yourself. It was such a gradual shift, you hardly noticed it happening. Each time you tried to speak up at work, that critical voice in your head would chime in—"You're embarrassing yourself." Eventually, you just stopped speaking. After dates, you'd replay every moment in your head until the anxiety made you feel sick. So, you figured dating just wasn’t worth the stress. Bit by bit, you pulled back—from people, from opportunities, from joy. You stopped taking risks, stopped feeling deeply. And with each passing day, your world became a little smaller.

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.
