Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Dayton, OH

As your therapist, it’s my job to meet you where you’re at. What are you hoping to get out of therapy? Together, we can create a treatment plan and goals. Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or this is your first session, we will work together to figure out what will be most beneficial. Therapy sessions can look a variety of ways. Maybe it’s processing a recent trauma, identifying and breaking unhealthy patterns, or building skills. Our sessions will be a safe space where we can learn coping skills, build a better relationship with yourself and your body, figure out effective tactics for managing stress/anxiety, and more.

Accepting New Telehealth Clients - Evening & Weekend Appointments. I am a seasoned, eclectic professional with 25 years experience in the fields of Mental Health and Addiction. I believe that overall wellness is an attainable experience, but our lives can be impacted by behaviors, symptoms or experiences that hinder our balance and growth.

We as humans, are wired for connection. Therefore, in the hard moments of life we need someone to walk alongside us through the journey helping us move towards the other side while feeling heard, supported, and never alone.

I'm here to support and challenge you to do the hard things. And I am here to help and guide clients on their journey of emotional healing and self-growth.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards positive change. Please know that I appreciate & respect clients from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, & religion.

I’m dedicated to supporting young adults as they navigate the unique challenges and complexities of emerging adulthood. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can develop your identity, navigate difficult relationships and find your purpose without judgment. While therapy can be tough work, it’s vital to have the proper support during this transitional phase of life. I try to bring a touch of humor and lightness to the work, but my goal is to help you realize your inherent worth and potential as we explore who you are and who you want to become.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

If you are sitting there and wondering to yourself why do I feel this way, why am I not living or producing the life that I desire or maybe you have had some traumatic events in your life that you desire to break through so that you can engage again in life, or that you do not feel comfortable in your own skin. I am here to help with over 21 years of experience in counseling and specializing in psychopathology. I use humor in my sessions to help build rapport and to help clients experience laughter in their day.

I specialize in treatment of anxiety, depression, chemical dependency, ADHD, trauma, and adjustment disorders for children, adolescents, and adults alike. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy with the goal of treating each person as an individual with their own unique needs.

I became a therapist after overcoming my own adversity and trauma.  I confronted the impact of it as a young adult through therapy where I was empowered with the tools I needed to positively evolve as a person.  I want to assist others in their struggle with trauma by empowering them with similar tools to confront the impact of their own trauma and to positively grow. I specialize in working with people that have experienced significant trauma, abuse or neglect. But I can also help you if you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, adjustment issues or gender identity or sexual identity concerns.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and mindfulness skills.
