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.

I have 20+ years of experience in education and counseling, allowing me to understand the challenges faced by young people. My passion is to inspire and empower individuals to overcome obstacles, and my therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for this. I am committed to building strong relationships with my clients and helping them achieve their goals.

I work primarily with individuals and adolescents struggling with anxiety, self esteem, depression, LGBTQ+issues, highly sensitive people and empaths. I also work with couples and families as I believe that in order to best understand a client, I must also understand the family and system that they come from. I particularly love working with adolescents because I know first hand how tough those years can be.

Shame. Guilt. Anxiety. Depression. These are some of the most common issues and also the ones that are the most difficult to talk about and work through. They can be hurdles we have to overcome to reach our goals in life. Much of these issues surround the topic of sex, whether that be sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship dynamics, or religious experiences. My aim is to challenge stigmas and normalize sexual communication to manage all those negative thoughts and feelings.

My ideal client values progress, real indicators of healing day by day, collaboration, is confident about their experience and is ready for a nonjudgmental ear.

My clients tend to be those suffering from the disease of addiction (i.e. nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, caffeine, prescription drugs, illicit drugs, etc.). Knowing that addiction isn't the only thing that one struggles with, I specialize in healing the co-occurring disorder (i.e. depression, anxiety, trauma / PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, etc.). If you or someone you love has an addiction and would like to know how to heal from it, please feel free to reach out.
