DBT helps clients develop practical skills to manage intense emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and respond to difficult situations in healthier ways. The approach combines acceptance with positive change, helping clients better understand their emotions while learning strategies to navigate them effectively. Sessions are collaborative and supportive, with a focus on building skills that can be applied in everyday life. We may work on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness based on the client's individual needs and goals.

My approach to grief is compassionate, supportive, and individualized. I provide a safe space for women to process loss, express difficult emotions, and make sense of their experiences without judgment. Through talk therapy and expressive arts therapy, we work together to honor the grieving process while developing healthy ways to cope and move forward. Progress may look different for each client. It can include feeling more comfortable expressing emotions, developing healthier coping skills, reconnecting with relationships and daily life, and finding meaning after loss. My goal is to support clients as they move toward greater emotional wellness and a fulfilling life.
