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.
