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.

In my nearly 40 years of experience I learned everyone has story to tell of pleasures and pains. Anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, mother/daughter, aging/intergenerational family, inclusivity and diversity issues are just a few stories I've been told. I specialize in individual adults and/or couples to help them write the next chapter or rewrite the troubled one finding answers and strengths, new tools and skills that can lead to creating a more satisfying life.

My clients are often asking themselves: Will it ever get better? What's wrong with me? Who am I? Is what happened to me violence? Will I ever make peace with my body? Why did my family keep this secret? Why can't I get over 'it'? They might be recovering from intimate partner violence, narcissistic abuse, disordered eating, emotionally immature parents, leaving high demand groups, DNA discoveries, adoption search/reunion, childhood trauma, perfectionism and shame. You don't have to do it alone.

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.

Many of my clients come to therapy stuck in the same patterns, unsure how to break the cycle but knowing they want to make a change. I help my clients understand where these patterns come from, how these patterns served them in the past, and empower them to shed those parts they have outgrown. I collaborate with my clients to integrate their past experiences with greater bodily and emotional awareness in order to make choices with agency and authentic presence.

You’re feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in life and can’t find the energy to change things up. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by thoughts or feelings that push you around or keep you from doing what you want to be doing. I'd like to help. Clients often come to me seeking relief from pervasive anxiety and overwhelm, or wanting to process major changes. I work with clients in all forms of relationships, and see couples and polycules too.

I enjoy partnering with clients on relationship issues, anxiety, and general life stressors. I also identify as queer and enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community with adults 16+ years old. As a therapist, I continue to engage in anti-racist and decolonization work that actively influence my practice.
