I believe therapy should be a collaborative, active process. In our work together, I bring warmth, directness, and flexibility along with evidence-based tools grounded in clinical science. My focus is on helping you develop insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and using that insight to take meaningful, sustainable action. You will build skills to break patterns, challenge avoidance, and build healthier neural pathways.
Research shows that evidence-based therapies help change not just how we think and feel but how the brain itself functions, for long-term benefit. Our brains are capable of neuroplasticity meaning they can prune old, unhelpful pathways and form new neural connections throughout life. By practicing new ways of thinking, responding, and relating to emotions, therapy helps "rewire" brain pathways that have been shaped by stress, anxiety, trauma, or habit. Over time, this process makes it easier to respond with flexibility instead of reactivity and to break patterns that once felt automatic.
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and how certain patterns might be keeping you stuck. We’ll work together to identify the habits of thinking or reacting that are getting in the way of your goals, whether that’s managing anxiety, improving mood, or staying focused. By noticing these patterns in real time, you can build new strategies that help you respond more effectively and create real, lasting change.
While I do not practice comprehensive DBT anymore, I take a DBT-informed approach. This treatment is especially helpful if you experience intense emotions, difficulty managing impulsive or self-defeating behaviors, or rigid thinking. It focuses on helping you better regulate emotions, cope with distress, and improve relationships by integrating skills of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In therapy, we’ll practice tools for being more present, finding balance between acceptance and change, and responding to difficult situations in more effective ways.
I bring evidence-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training directly to your workplace, offering interactive workshops tailored to your team’s needs. Workshops focus on fostering resilience, emotional wellness, and better communication through:
Mindfulness & Presence: Cultivating awareness of moment-to-moment experience, reducing automatic reactivity
Emotion Regulation: Identifying and modifying emotional responses, building capacity for stability
Distress Tolerance: Learning strategies to cope when things feel overwhelming (without making things worse)
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Communicating clearly and assertively, navigating conflict, maintaining boundaries
Each workshop is interactive, incorporating practical exercises, role-plays, group discussion, and case-based examples to bring theory into real-world use.
Workshops are customizable by duration and format (e.g. one time or weekly 60-minute lunch-and-learn, virtual or in-person). I can also incorporate:
Takeaway materials & handouts for ongoing practice
Follow-up “booster sessions” or check-ins to support sustained integration
Whether you’re aiming to boost team resilience, reduce conflict, or support employee well-being, these DBT-based wellness workshops offer tools that people can use both in and out of the workplace.
