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.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode—you are not alone. Together, we will quiet the internal noise, build your capacity for the hard stuff, and reconnect you to a steadier, more rooted sense of self. I often work with clients navigating trauma, relational ruptures, and the emotional weight that comes with healing. Our work is about finding clarity, creating compassion, and expanding what feels possible.

I work with young adults, women and female identifying folx and 1st & 2nd generation immigrants navigating major life transitions, career uncertainty, relationships, and financial well-being. My clients are thoughtful and often balance cultural / familial expectations with personal aspirations. They seek clarity, confidence, and deeper connections—wanting to move past self-doubt, burnout, or overwhelm to build a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.

I work with couples to develop good communication, enhance intimacy, and work through issues that are preventing them from moving forward in their relationship. It can be easy to be stuck in patterns that don't work, especially if there is history involved. My passion is also working with people who are pregnant, trying to conceive, postpartum, or struggling with infertility and miscarriages. Anxiety and depression can often go hand in hand with these issues along with some disordered eating.

Your styles of conflict are probably different: some partners fight a lot, some avoid conflict and yet others are able to talk things out without ever raising their voice. Your partnership may be tested by the ways you each show affection and intimacy. You might have realized that you don't share the same values. Maybe you just found out that your partner is neurodivergent (autism or ADHD), leaving you to wonder if your marriage can thrive and not end in emotional abandonment.
My clients seek my services when personal problems or relationship disappointments drain the joy, fun & creativity from otherwise rewarding lives & careers. No one wants to remain stuck or feel sad, depressed or anxious for long. I offer a safe space where you'll feel heard, respected, & validated. Collaboratively, we will unpack the challenges you're facing & create insight around patterns that no longer serve you. I help my clients grow & develop, for themselves & those they love.
