When emotions feel impossible to manage, life is harder than it needs to be.

You might feel  drained, stuck in repeating conflicts, lost, reacting impulsively, or struggling to manage thoughts and feelings that don’t seem to settle.

You’re left exhausted and confused, especially when you’ve been trying your best and things still don’t feel better. 

You are not alone and there is another way.

How DBT can help

DBT was originally developed specifically for people with BPD and focuses on helping clients develop skills to:

• Regulate intense emotions and reduce emotional reactivity

• Tolerate distress without resorting to impulsive or self-destructive behaviors

• Improve relationships and reduce patterns of conflict, withdrawal, or fear of abandonment

• Strengthen boundaries and communication

• Reduce impulsivity and increase thoughtful decision-making

• Develop mindfulness and greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors

• Build a stronger sense of self-acceptance while working toward meaningful change

What we’ll actually work on

Our work may focus on strengthening mindfulness, improving emotion regulation, building distress tolerance, and developing interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help you manage anxiety, cope with uncertainty, set boundaries, communicate your needs, and build more fulfilling relationships.

The goal is not to eliminate difficult emotions or lower your standards, but to help you respond to yourself and others in ways that align with your values. Through individualized DBT-informed care you can cultivate greater emotional balance, resilience, and a more sustainable approach to achievement, relationships, and everyday life.

More about me and DBT

I received foundational training in DBT through BTECH (founded by Marsha Linehan) in 2014. My practice approach is DBT informed. I work best with individuals who have completed a comprehensive DBT program and want to continue strengthening the skills they have acquired while deepening their self-awareness through mindfulness and reflection. Having an established foundation in DBT skills allows us to navigate difficult emotions and manage moments when the therapeutic process feels triggering. Together, we can use these skills to create space for meaningful exploration, greater emotional understanding, and personal growth. My goal is to help you integrate these skills into your daily life so you can continue building the self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful life you envision for yourself.

Common struggles we can work on

• Emotions that feel to big to manage

• Chaotic and painful relationships

• Impulsive reactions or behaviors that are out of your control

• Feeling lost, bored, empty or having no direction in life

• Overthinking, ruminating, being unable to shut down your mind

• Feeling alone with pain that is too big to share
