Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Paradise Valley, AZ

I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked in the mental health field since 2007. I have worked with individuals and families from various cultures and backgrounds.

Thank you for visiting my profile, I am so glad you are here! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas, Arizona, Florida and South Carolina. I specialize in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), complex trauma (CPTSD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I see anyone who is concerned about emotional control, suicide and dissociation. My clients are typically high-functioning individuals with good insight and self-awareness. However, they are privately suffering and feel unable to escape recurring feelings.

We offer Individual, couples and Group Therapy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured therapy that focuses on teaching four core skills (mindfulness, acceptance & distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness) to help you create a good life for yourself. You work on substance use with both adolescents with mental health issues and substance use in recovery as well as unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I have a passion for helping people through their struggles. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Jungian Analyst I have the honor of working with a diverse population-individuals, couples, children, adolescents and their families for 30 years now. In helping people resolve their conflicts, I utilize Jungian analysis, Gottman marital therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to my working ethos. Today, the unexamined life is fraught with difficulties. Psychotherapy is a wise and fruitful investment.

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and trauma-can be better understood and overcome.

I am truly sorry for any pain you may be feeling. As a compassionate and caring therapist, I understand the deep hurt and confusion that life can bring. My empathetic approach is designed to provide a safe and supportive space where you can heal and center yourself. I specialize in providing treatment for relationship problems, dating, divorce, loneliness, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, emotional overwhelm, being overweight, and coping with fear and avoidance. I also aid in healing the overwhelm and uncertainty of gaslighting or emotional abuse inflicted by narcissistic, domineering or controlling others.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who seeks to support client's goals, while also helping them achieve a life worth living. Prior to private practice I have worked at the VA and the National Center for PTSD in Honolulu, HI, Seattle Children's Hospital, PCH, and community mental health clinics. As a result of working within a variety of settings, I have the experience and skills to work with children, adolescents, and adults who present with behavioral, mood, and life challenges. I also have specialized training for grief, impulse control and anger management, PTSD, and coping/emotion regulation skills acquisition.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Using a holistic approach in therapy we will explore the mind, body and spirit connection. We will learn balance and build resilience through the power of self-discovery, thus improving your quality of life. Negative thought patterns and beliefs will be identified and challenged through DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR. When needed we may create healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with exercise. Cultivating your spirituality to relieve fear and nurture an attitude of gratitude and abundance is encouraged.

As a psychotherapist I am passionate about supporting clients in a safe and non-judgmental space. I am a whole person-focused, trauma informed clinician who believes everyone has the power within themselves to heal. As a strength-based clinician I choose not to focus on what isn’t working while reducing a person to a diagnosis. I honor and respect that everyone I work with has a personal story and unique life experiences that have resulted in both struggle and strength. Therapy may provide the space for each individual to cultivate true life satisfaction.

Acknowledging that there is a problem and asking for help are the firsts step towards recovery. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to help individuals achieve a life worth living and to accomplish their goals. My practice focuses on the treatment of adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders and body image distress. I also work with the families of these individuals to work through relational issues that may be contributing to the disorder, and to provide education on how to best support a loved one with an eating disorder.

Hi there- I work with highly motivated individuals who have endured childhood/recent trauma or who are struggling with recurring emotional pain who want freedom, and healing, and have the desire to feel less sensitive to the thoughts, emotional pain, or images.

You may have tried a variety of things before and it can be frustrating. I want you to see some real change and feel better. You can contact me today for a free consultation.
