Emotions hit hard and fast. Anxiety can take over, frustrating moments turning into emotional spirals before you've had time to figure out what happened. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for navigating those moments. I provide online therapy for clients in St. Petersburg, throughout Florida, and in all PSYPACT states, using my advanced DBT training to help clients develop healthier ways to manage emotions, cope with stress, and respond to life's challenges.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
DBT is an evidence-based form of therapy that combines strategy with acceptance-based practices. In other words, we can acknowledge what you're experiencing right now while working toward meaningful change. We focus on four areas:
Mindfulness
Emotion regulation
Distress tolerance
Interpersonal effectiveness
These skills can help you notice what's happening internally, manage difficult emotions, tolerate stressful moments, and communicate more effectively with the people around you. My DBT sessions are practical and collaborative. During therapy with me, we'll look at your individual patterns and determine which skills can help. I don't want you to simply understand concepts—I want you to leave with skills you can actually use.
