How does dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) work and how can it help?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps individuals develop practical skills to manage intense emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and stay present in the moment. DBT focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I work with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and build healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. DBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and improving overall emotional resilience.
