Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Strathmore, AB
I often pull concepts from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma informed therapy.
I work from a pluralistic person centered approach that honors you as the expert in your life. I have a passion for working with individuals facing a transitional period in life. Change often has positive and negative elements and can feel overwhelming. I work with individuals to expand their tool kit to manage the strong emotions that can come with change and to find clarity and direction in a time that might feel confusing or uncertain. Additionally, since the birth of my son I have a specific interest in helping new parents transition into parenthood. I welcome the opportunity to get to know you and your story!

Treatment may utilize strategies from CBT, DBT, ART, Solution-focused therapy, art therapy and other approaches.
"Change is our only constant." I often find myself saying this to my clients as well as myself when undergoing a sudden change, challenged through a difficult event, or simply trying to navigate the stressors of everyday life. Sometimes it is difficult to manage or adjust to changes on our own and we need additional support. I hope that with my expertise I can walk alongside you to provide support when it is most needed and to help you navigate the emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and stressors that are getting in the way of your wellness.

With over 12 years of clinical experience and specialized training in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Practices, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (in addition or other modalities), I will work with you collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and hopes for change.
Collectively, our mental health has never been a bigger priority than now. For many of us, our foundation of coping has been shaken to the core. We are trying to find ways of navigating through difficult emotions, sensations, urges, thoughts and relationship issues that may be bubbling up and overflowing on the surface. With these difficulties, we might find ourselves coping in extremes, like a swinging pendulum: either trying to over-control our situation, or, perhaps, losing control entirely. I would love to support you in resolving these difficulties, slowing down the pendulum, and hopefully finding a 'middle path'.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour 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 behaviour 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, behaviour, 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 behavioural 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 behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
