An ideal client is someone who is willing to take that first brave step—reaching out for the help they know they need. Often, making the initial call is the hardest part, which is why it’s also the most powerful. The purpose of therapy is to support you in achieving your personal goals through open, honest, and meaningful conversations.
Therapy is not an overnight solution; it’s a journey that takes time, commitment, and mutual effort between the client and therapist. Every client has the right to confidentiality—and the right to a therapist who truly cares.

Do you "know what to do" to feel better, yet you struggle to follow through? Have you been feeling unseen, stuck, or burnt out from always putting others first? You may know why you do these things (people pleasing, procrastinating, putting yourself last) but still find it hard to change. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before and left feeling the same as when you started. If this resonates with you and you are ready to dig deeper than simply being "self aware", you've come to the right place.

You may be someone who has already spent time reflecting on your life and wants to understand yourself more deeply. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and insightful, but feel stuck in patterns they cannot quite untangle on their own. They may be facing relentless anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, grief, depression, major life transitions or recovery from trauma. Often they are asking deeper questions about identity, values, and direction and want a space to explore those “why” questions and make meaningful changes. Many of my clients are also neurodivergent, and you will find this a welcoming space to be you.

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.
