DBT for Stress and Trauma
Learning to build a healthy relationship with self and your emotions
You may have arrived here because:
Stress and trauma don’t always look like “just anxiety.” Sometimes it shows up as emotional overwhelm, relationship instability, intense shame, or feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode. I specialize in DBT based therapy for clients who need both support and real skills that create change.
​
Common concerns I help with include:
Emotion dysregulation and intense mood swings
Chronic stress, burnout, and nervous system overload
Trauma symptoms and trauma related coping patterns
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and borderline traits
Suicidal ideation and self harm urges
Impulsive behaviors and high risk coping strategies
Relationship conflict, abandonment fears, and attachment wounds
​
Whatever the reason, I am glad you are here. Please read on to see if I can offer you the support you need.
A pattern of feeling stuck
You might feel like there is no way to break the patterns in your life, due to years of going around and around the same cycle. It is possible to find a new way forward. It takes work and willingness to unlearn how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. We also have to discover the new skills in order to replace to old ones. I can help you learn these skills and gain autonomy of self.
My experience in personal support
​I help clients work through trauma and learn how to manage overwhelming emotions in a way that feels more steady and sustainable. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and also use EMDR to support clients who feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, or discouraged by how hard things have been for so long. I often work with individuals struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, and intense emotional ups and downs, and I focus on building practical skills that create real change. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, more grounded in your day to day life, and more secure in your relationships.
