I provide individual and couples counseling using an eclectic and humanistic approach. I also offer comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offering skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness skills. I was comprehensively trained by Marsha Linehan via BTech, the founder of DBT. I support people in managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues and general life issues and love helping couples improve their communication and connection with one another.
Developed at the University of Washington by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., ABPP, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods with mindfulness and acceptance practices to treat emotional and behavioral problems and help clients create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
DBT teaches practical skills for clients to utilize in moments of crisis, difficult interpersonal situations, and problems of everyday living. Typically, clients participating in dialectical behavior therapy feel more in control of their emotions and moods and are less likely to let their emotions control them.
