Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Comprehensive Model 

​I am a DBT-LBC certified clinician.  I was trained by the treatment developer, Dr. Marsha Linehan, and other DBT experts to provide standard/comprehensive DBT.  I offer individual DBT sessions, skills training, phone coaching, and am a member of a DBT consultation team.

Behavior Therapies

For a variety of problems

I treat a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems. In addition to DBT, I use a variety of behavioral interventions, both independently and in conjunction with DBT.  For example, I conduct Prolonged Exposure and other exposure therapies for PTSD and anxiety disorders.  For depressive disorders, I most often utilize Behavioral Activation.  I have extensive training in both couple and individual treatments for substance use disorders. I treat a variety of eating and body-image related problems, including binge eating and related disorders.

Couple and Family Therapies

DBT and Behavioral Couple Therapy

I have specific training and experience in couple-based treatments for couples for whom one or both members struggle with out-of-control behaviors, related to intense emotions and/or substance use disorders.
