About
Our human emotional experience is complicated and can sometimes get in the way of our goals or our relationships. We often judge our reactions or ourselves for having them because they can lead to impulsivity or emotional suffering, and of course we would prefer to avoid this. If we can learn to experience our thoughts, feelings, and actions in the moment without judgment or assumption, we can learn to work with our emotions, accept things we wish were different and more effectively enact change. This allows us to focus on what we can control to work towards your goals for yourself, relationships, and life. DBT relies heavily on mindfulness and validation. This allows us to find balance between acceptance and change so that we can accept the impacts of our experience in order to develop a realistic plan to create change and work through these challenges to achieve our goals. Increasing compassion helps keep us motivated and flexible with difficult tasks. This process is for you and you alone, I am here to develop a plan with you to best serve you. I take a flexible and supportive approach with my clients to meet each person where they are at and work towards where they would like to be. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
