Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy, first developed in the 1980s by Marsha M. Linehan, to treat patients suffering from borderline personality disorder. Since then, DBT’s use has broadened and now it is regularly employed as part of a treatment plan for people struggling with behaviors or emotions they can't control. This can include eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and more. DBT is a skills-based approach that focuses on helping people increase their emotional and cognitive control by learning the triggers that lead to unwanted behaviors. Once triggers are identified, DBT teaches coping skills that include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. A therapist specializing in DBT will help you to enhance your own capabilities, improve your motivation, provide support in-the-moment, and better manage your own life with problem-solving strategies. Think this approach might work for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s DBT specialists today.

Are you are realizing that the effects of past trauma, violence or abuse have left things a tangled mess? Are you struggling with how difficult experiences have affected your relationships? Or maybe you belong to a gender, sexual, or relationship minority (e.g., LGBTQ+, kink) and are looking for an affirming provider to support you through whatever life has brought you? I look forward to supporting you in gaining the knowledge and skills to navigate whatever stressors life has brought you.

I strive to provide an environment that is safe and free of judgment, a place where it is okay to not be okay, while working on ways to improve and feel better. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to explore ways to heal, whatever that means for you, and to help you in your process. I offer a free phone consult so we both can determine a good fit.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, having difficulties adjusting to major life change (e.g., college/work, marriage, children, breakup/divorce, health/abilities), struggling with anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or facing social barriers due to ability difference? I specialize in solution-focused and integrative individual therapy for adults with these concerns. If you’re ready for change and want to be an active part it, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

You know yourself better than anyone else – even if it doesn’t seem like it yet. I help my clients to discover (or rediscover) themselves in meaningful ways. The tools are sometimes out-of-the-box (maybe a tarot card will help you work through that difficult thought process or better understand that dysfunctional relationship), evidenced-based, and always collaborative. We’ll laugh. You’ll probably cry – but you’ll definitely feel better.

In my practice, I have the privilege of working with a wonderfully diverse patient population. From the lively energy of children to the transitional phases of adolescence and the delicate journey of prenatal women, each individual brings their own set of experiences and challenges. Guiding children through the maze of emotions, helping teens navigate the complexities of identity and peer relationships, and supporting prenatal women as they prepare for motherhood are all parts of my work.
