Individual Therapy
I work with two other experienced therapists to provide DBT services. DBT is a skills based therapy that focuses on 4 main skills to improve: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. This type of therapy utilizes individual sessions, group skill sessions, and phone coaching to support clients in learning these 4 skill categories.
DBT was originally created for Borderline Personality Disorder, though has been proven effective for depression, anxiety, trauma, and more.
The overarching goal of DBT is to Build a Life Worth Living and we do that through the balancing of acceptance and change.
This is typically a year long program with 1 hour of individual therapy per week, and 2 hours of group per week.
Current groups are Mondays 11am-1pm and Wednesdays 5-7pm. Please reach out for more information!
Therapy Style
I strive to offer a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to explore areas of strength while gaining new skills. I am committed to balancing the structure of evidence based practice with the flexibility of each individual’s needs. My goal is to help clients heal in ways that work for their life and their individual goals. We all have rich stories about who we are and how we have gotten to where we are. I’m honored to hear about that journey and support your next steps.
Types of Therapy
I offer individual and relational therapies.
Individual therapy involves meeting 1:1 to work on goals relating to your mental health and wellbeing. Newer to therapy services? I’m happy to help you ease into the new environment and identify what you could get out of therapy support.
Relational therapy involves meeting with multiple folks in the same room. Typically this has looked like a couple, or family system but can be a broader way to discuss any type of relationship we may need support in.
