How do you work with clients with self harming issues?
I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and am currently working under supervision towards Linehan Board Certification. I currently offer Comprehensive DBT in my practice. DBT can be very effective for supporting people who struggle with self-harming behaviors.
My past experiences with DBT include providing DBT-informed skills groups for adolescents with eating disorders partial hospitalization and residential settings, and DBT-informed individual sessions and skills groups to adolesescents with mood disorders in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization settings. I also have been and continue to be involved in research looking to adapt DBT for autistic young adults.
In addition to my past experiences delivering DBT, I also have a lot of experience supporting clients who have suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviors.

At Spring Day Therapy, I work with children, teens, adults, and families to provide compassionate, collaborative (and oftentimes playful!) evidence-based treatment. I have experience working in outpatient and intensive (IOP, PHP, and residential) levels of care, with clients across the lifespan with varying needs, goals, and identities. My clinical approach is informed by my background in school-based autism research and my nonprofit work in AAPI mental health advocacy.
