Rooted in OT theory, I practice within a DBT framework and have completed DBT training through Behavior Tech.
Struggling with difficult emotions can make it hard to engage in everyday life, often leading to feelings of hopelessness. Working with an experienced therapist to develop effective coping skills can help you to feel more in control by learning to manage these feelings and the thoughts that accompany them. With over 15 years of experience, I have a passion for working with teens and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, personality disorders and anxiety disorders. Focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, we can work to develop skills that enable you participate in and enjoy life.

Using CBT, DBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing, I help my individuals and couples identify and break unhelpful patterns and learn skills to help them meet their goals.
While stress, anxiety, sadness, health problems, and relationship conflicts are a common part of life, if they're interfering with work, school, family, relationships, or other areas of your life that are important to you, you may benefit from therapy. My clients experience a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, depression, substance or impulse control issues, chronic pain or health problems, and high-conflict relationships. The thing they all have in common is they feel like their emotions, behaviours, or past experiences have prevented them from living the fullest, most meaningful life possible.

I have training in Solution-Focused Therapy, Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, DBT, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, EFT-Y, and my 200 hr yoga teacher training.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to live with big feelings, and we need to find healthy or different ways to cope. I have a decade of individual and family therapy experience working in both the public sector and private. I support 18+ teenagers, young adults and families through various challenges including anxiety, ADHD, emotion dysregulation, grief, and relationship conflicts. Whether it is a one-time session, brief work, or ongoing sessions, I believe everyone can use support at one time or another.

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.
