Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

Life can be complicated. It's like a knot with no obvious way to untie it. Days can be lonely, tiring, and confusing. BUT, burdens lighten when someone walks beside you and feels your pain. As your therapist, I will listen to your woes, ask insightful questions, and help you tap into long forgotten resources. With me, you will see results where you say, "Aha!" Join me! Watch your eyes sparkle with hope and your steps get lighter. I will help you untie that knot, reach your goals, embrace new possibilities, and live life with purpose and power.

Life in itself is challenging; let me help you learn how to face these moments with strength and love. As humans, we tend to struggle with how to handle adversity and often forget our own resiliency and ability to adapt. "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty"- Maya Angelou.

Sometimes the hardest thing is asking for help. Choosing to enter therapy is a courageous act and one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Finding the right therapist for you, someone whom you can trust, who makes you feel safe, and believes in you might feel difficult and daunting at times but is also one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. I feel honored and grateful to each and every one of my clients who entrusted me with their stories and embarked on their healing journey with me. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you gain the necessary insight and skills to live the life you want and deserve.

Life happens & therapy helps! Therapy is a safe space to release unwanted thoughts, feelings & emotions while gaining a new perspective & learning new skills to help you live the life you desire. It is my belief, even when you don’t feel equipped, you have everything you need to take the next step in life. During our therapy sessions, it is my goal to ensure you feel safe, supported, comfortable & confident, while implementing practical therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive Therapy and/or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

In therapy, we get to understand our individual stories and work towards writing the future we envision for ourselves. I recognize that each person has a unique perception of the world and these differences should be embraced in a supportive and judgement free environment. In my therapeutic practice, I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing techniques in conjunction with solution focused interventions to problem solve solutions to develop practical and individualized coping strategies for depression, anxiety, substance use, and other severe and persistence mental health issues.

I love helping people manifest their best lives and provide guidance in getting there. The desire to understand self and be understood by others is innate and I have the deepest respect for those taking steps to improve emotional and mental health.

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mental health therapist. I have always been drawn to learning more about people and their unique stories.

My therapeutic style is direct, while also supportive and compassionate. I embrace the principle that the treatment relationship is a genuine relationship between equals.
