Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Fort Wayne, IN

My passions lie with individuals that suffer from PTSD and the effects of trauma. Once you identify the root cause of your symptoms, which can range from depression, panic and anxiety, nightmares or insomnia, even chronic health problems, you can truly begin to heal and grow. I tend to utilize a lot of CBT and DBT interventions and I do like to assign tasks for you to practice between sessions. Although these are serious issues, I believe in my heart that a sense of humor is absolutely vital to survival!

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and taking that first step. A little about me: I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Writing Exposure Therapy (WET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals, and have utilized Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for couples. If you prefer a Biblical approach, I am comfortable with Christian counseling as well. Finally, if you have experienced a trauma that you need help in healing, yet do not wish to talk about it in deep detail, ART and WET can be utilized to minimize the re-telling of your painful history. Whatever it is that brought you here, I'd be honored to help.

I still do some family medicine, as well as working in psychiatric emergencies, and doing individual counseling.
