Late night appointments available until as late as 10pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Experienced marriage therapist since 2003.

Generally couples need at least 7 sessions to really understand their unique underlying issues in the context of GMCT and to develop ways to move forward. If you can’t get your spouse to come to counseling I can still help you.

Not Accepting Clients- My ideal client is someone who’s ready to stop surviving and start living. They may feel like they’ve done “all the right things”—read the books, talked it through, tried to stay positive—but still feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they are. Maybe they’ve spent years showing up for others while quietly putting their own needs on the back burner. Now, they’re feeling the weight of that and want something to shift. They’re not sure where to start, but they know they want more—more clarity, more peace, more meaning. These clients are curious, self-aware, and open to the deeper work.

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.
