I provide individual and family for clients across a range of severity and complexity including eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, mood/anxiety disorders, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, self-harm and trauma. 

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

DBT is an evidence-based therapy utilizing four primary modes of treatment: Individual therapy, group skills training, in -the-moment phone/text coaching and DBT therapist consultation team to treat individuals who have difficulty managing emotions. DBT was originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and is considered the most evidence-based treatment for this population. Further research has shown DBT’s effectiveness in other populations such as eating disorders, depression, and PTSD.

DBT utilizes a behavioral approach that analyzes situations and specifically targets behaviors that interfere with meeting goals and solving problems in one’s life. Interventions are then targeted towards solving the problems that are most relevant to meet one’s “life worth living” goals.

What if you are not in-network with my insurance?

I will submit out-of-network claims however payment is due at the time of service. Most insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits which may be a separate deductible and possible reimbursement for covered expenses. Please contact your insurance company for more information about your coverage.
