We provide two services: Standard DBT (Individual DBT Therapy, Group Skills Training, Phone Coaching, and Therapist DBT Consultation Team) and Group Skills Training Only (for clients with an individual therapist). Four Adult DBT Group times are offered. DBT is a research-supported treatment for people with emotion regulation difficulties. This is a supportive group structured like an academic class to learn skills to help regulate emotions, reduce suffering, increase happiness, and change ineffective behavior patterns. The skills have 4 modules: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Learn more on our web site.

I treat issues of mood, anxiety, relationships, personality traits, as well as behavioral and social issues.

Whether the loss is recent or in years prior, the stress of the holiday season can present unforeseen challenges. As prey animals, horses are uniquely attuned to not only their surrounding but the minute energetic vibrations we emit, non-verbal cues, body language, and the unspoken feelings that may be keeping us from fully processing our grief.

We can all find ourselves overwhelmed by the expectations put on us by others and ourselves. Often our past experiences may have us repeating patterns and cycles in our relationships that don’t serve us and it can be easy to try to ignore our problems or stuff our feelings only to find they're coming out sideways. To cope, we may engage in behaviors that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. Often difficult life transitions put us in a state of upheaval, leaving us feeling hopeless, anxious, or depressed. I'd like to help you navigate these challenges.
Life isn't always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. Our practice specializes in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and anger management. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, we're confident that we have the experience to help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life.
