It is a fundamental rule in nature that creatures are born with skills they need to survive: fish are born swimming, caterpillars have the ability to make their cocoon without instruction, and birds have the instinct to escape their shells. And people, we are born with the ability to ask for help. So why does it become harder and harder to ask for help as we grow up? Emotional responses are as complex and natural as you are, but sometimes in that complexity, they can be difficult to navigate on your own.

As a licensed counselor, I have several years of professional experience helping adults successfully navigate a variety of mental health challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, addiction, loss, relationship conflicts, anger, and other life-controlling issues).

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and DBT-C ( DBT for Children) modalities I help clients learn practical skills for emotional regulation, enhance self-awareness, and distress tolerance skills while building a life worth living.
As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, and their families who struggle with impulsive behaviors, suicidal ideations, self-harm, and emotional dysregulation. I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals who have been adopted, recognizing the complexities and dynamics involved in their experiences. Adoption can bring about a range of emotional and behavioral issues, such as identity confusion, attachment difficulties, and feelings of abandonment. I help adopted individuals and their families navigate these challenges while fostering security and belonging.

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.
