In my experience I've come to know that each person's struggles and strengths are unique, but we're all connected and affected by one another. From this starting point, I hope to build a safe place to process, grow, and develop new skills to overcome life's difficulties. Using an eclectic blend of evidence based practices specifically tailored to each individual, I have treated adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, issues of spirituality, and life transitions. I also have more specialized experience working with those suffering from grief and loss, and have researched and published on the topic as well.

The paralysis of your obsessions and compulsive behaviors has gotten so bad that they’re affecting your well-being, leaving you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. You’ve struggled to socialize, leave the house, or even use the bathroom without anxiety weighing you down. You feel trapped—whether in a job that drains you, a relationship that no longer serves you, or the uncertainty of a major life transition. Mental blocks have gotten in the way of making progress and being truly present in the moment. These feelings cause panic attacks, and indecision takes time away from reaching your life goals and experiencing genuine happiness.

Anxiety can show up in many different ways in our life. It can make us work harder to prove ourselves or to have an unrealistic standard for ourselves. It can immobilize us and make us afraid to take any risks because we are fearful of potential outcomes. It can impact our relationships by leading to caretaking or people pleasing. It can lead us to try to control different areas of our lives and to avoid situations when we feel out of control. It may impact our ability to take care of ourselves, including effecting sleep and eating. Avoiding or attempting to manage anxiety can take a significant amount of time and energy.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists

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.
