YOU’VE WORKED SO HARD TO TRY AND LOVE YOURSELF

Maybe it’s time to learn to stop judging yourself insted. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers proven strategies to help you manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles—so you can finally find a sense of peace within.

Real help for anxiety and emotional distress

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) helps you manage intense emotions, improve your mood, build stable relationships, and stay grounded.

Feel Like Your Emotions Are Running the Show?

If you often feel overwhelmed, stuck in intense mood swings, or trapped in relationship patterns that leave you drained or hurt, you may be searching for a different kind of support—one that truly helps you regain control and feel more like yourself again.

That’s where Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can make a real difference.

What Is DBT—and Why Might It Be Exactly What You Need?

Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT is a compassionate, evidence-based therapy designed for people who feel emotions deeply and struggle to cope in healthy ways. It’s proven to help people with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and more.

DBT isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about giving you the tools to manage emotional pain, navigate conflict, and respond to life’s hardest moments without falling apart.

The Four Pillars of DBT: Practical Skills for Real-Life Change

  • Mindfulness – Learn to stay grounded and present. Instead of spiraling into regret or fear, mindfulness skills help you slow down, notice what’s happening inside you, and make calmer, more intentional choices.

  • Emotion Regulation – Feel your feelings without being controlled by them. Gain tools to understand your emotions, reduce emotional reactivity, and feel more stable—even when life throws you curveballs.

  • Distress Tolerance – Get through painful moments without self-destructing. Learn how to survive crises, tolerate discomfort, and replace harmful coping behaviors with healthier, more effective responses.

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness – Build stronger, more respectful relationships. Whether you struggle to ask for what you need, set boundaries, or resolve conflict, these skills help you show up with clarity and confidence in your relationships.

How therapy works

I believe the therapeutic alliance
lies at the core of effective therapy.

From the very start of treatment, we’ll create a connected, judgment-free relationship that will support your journey towards your goals. With that relationship as our foundation, you’ll feel empowered to master the skills you need to create change in your life and relationships. 

You don’t need to stay stuck in self-defeating patterns. Therapy with me isn’t a mysterious process where you’ll be mystified as to what we’re doing. I’ll be helping you learn concrete skills such as mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral interventions to change the thoughts and ineffective patterns that are holding you back.
