RO-DBT is a 30-week individual/group intervention designed to address overcontrol, or Stress Response System patterns that rely on excessive self-control. It is focused on Radical Openness, or openness to change and a commitment to reframing unwanted or distressing bodily sensations, emotions, or thoughts as opportunities for growth and learning. Clients will learn to regulate their nervous systems and engage in authentic social signaling to achieve a more fulfilling and values-aligned life.

I am level-II trained in Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy blended learning program.

Radically Open is an evidence based model (aka, the kind you can really trust) that treats OVERCONTROL. What the hell is that? Glad you asked. Overcontrol takes your anxiety and depression symptoms and makes them chronic and treatment-resistant. And then adds a whopping side dish of perfectionism. Simply, over control is a term for people who have so much self control they can suppress their emotion, out work most everyone, and end up victim to their own perfectionism.

Radically Open DBT is my primary passion and area of expertise. Intensively trained and supervised in 2017 by treatment developer Dr. Thomas Lynch. I am a certified senior trainer in RO DBT, a member of the international senior clinician team, and a presenter and co-author in the areas of RO DBT with teens and families.
