How DBT Therapy Helps

My practice is grounded in the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is a powerful, research-based approach originally developed for complex and intense emotional challenges, and it's used in leading hospitals and treatment centers across the country. It combines structured skills—like emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—with the warmth and validation of a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Improves Emotional Regulation

Learn how to identify, understand, and manage intense emotions without feeling overwhelmed or reactive.

Builds Distress Tolerance

Develop healthy coping strategies for crisis moments or emotional pain, so you can navigate challenges without making things worse.

Helps You Communicate Better and Build Healthier Relationships

Learn skills to express your needs, set boundaries, and improve communication in relationships—without conflict or guilt.

Helps You Bounce Back Stronger Over Time

With continued practice, DBT builds emotional strength so you're better equipped to handle life’s ups and downs with confidence.
