I am a trauma informed therapist integrating talk therapy, EMDR, IFS, DBT, CBT, structural dissociative model, art therapy and MI.
Life brings unexpected challenges and traumas—some brief, others long-lasting. In the midst of this, we often lose touch with our inner voice, neglect our needs, and begin to believe negative core beliefs. This can lead to cycles of anxiety, depression, and difficulty in relationships and daily life. Together, we’ll work to break these patterns, heal from trauma, and reconnect with your true self. My goal is to help you rediscover your inner serenity, strengthen your self-awareness, and build the tools needed for lasting growth and change.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. The ability to talk to an objective and supportive person who isn’t attached to your everyday life has value because they can help guide you through your life and offer perspective in areas that maybe weren’t clear to you. Seeking help from therapy is like getting help with your broken car. Sure you could probably watch a YouTube video on how to fix the car, but why not take it to an expert who is trained on how to fix cars. The same thing goes for mental health. Life has so many ups and downs, so why not seek help from someone who is trained to help people navigate that journey.

Relationships can feel overwhelming when communication breaks down, trust is strained, or emotions feel hard to manage. I work with couples, teens, and individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, infidelity, or the emotional weight of infertility. Many of my clients want stronger connections, greater emotional balance, and clarity about how to move forward when life or relationships aren’t unfolding as expected.

Curtis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core modality but infuses a variety of other modalities in treatment including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT) and Gottman Method.
I believe that people are strong and have the ability and resiliency to do incredible things. Life is full of challenges that can be difficult to overcome. It is my desire to help individuals find or renew their own strengths to overcome any challenge that they may face. Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient as we overcome the challenges we face. My therapeutic approach to mental health treatment is that every individual is deserving of respect and having a strong sense of self-worth. Everyone deserves a happy and meaningful life.

You’ve spent your whole life feeling “too much,” “not enough,” or just different — and you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together.
If you’re neurodivergent, living with ADHD, navigating life as LGBTQ+, or struggling with pornography addiction, anxiety, or depression, you may feel misunderstood—even by therapists. Maybe you’ve been told to “just try harder,” “pray more,” “focus,” or “have more self-control.” Maybe you’re carrying shame that doesn’t even belong to you.
You don’t need another person judging you.
You need someone who gets it.

I draw primarily from Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), which offers concrete, practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating the hard moments.
Life can feel overwhelming — especially when you're carrying experiences that others may never fully understand. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, a faith transition, or the weight of trauma, you don't have to figure it out alone.

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.
