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.
Whether you’ve been in therapy before or it’s your first time, taking the steps to get started is the hardest part. Daily life can be challenging and stressful. Managing daily responsibilities, work, significant others/family/friends; on top of stress of anxiety, that sometimes comes out of no where, depression and/or relationship issues can feel impossible. Learning to balance it all seems out of reach, but it doesn't have to. I look forward to helping you take your life back.

My clients are the experts of their own experience, and my goal is to ensure that every client feels seen, heard, and valued in our therapeutic journey. My therapeutic framework is rooted in anti-racist, LGBTQAI-affirming, sex work-honoring values. I am committed to inclusivity, growth, and healing in a compassionate and non-judgmental space. My ideal client is someone who trusts enough in me and in the process to be honest with me about what they need while also being willing to learn together.

I help individuals who are experiencing the weight of depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and grief. My clients often experience unpredictable emotional states, struggling with focus and daily decision-making. They may have physical symptoms, sleep disturbances, or lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. Many feel isolated by an invisible burden that others can't see or understand. My clients are ready to work with someone who truly understands and uses proven methods to help them recover.
