Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has become one of the most sought after forms of treatment available in psychotherapy. DBT is an amazing and effective approach. It incorporates individual treatment with skill building to address issues ranging from life threatening to life interfering. With DBT, we will work together to build your Life Worth Living. I have been through intensive training for DBT.

Brief Trauma Resolution Therapy

Pioneered by Dr. Eric Gentry, Brief Trauma Resolution Therapy (BTRT) is viewed as a more humane approach to trauma treatment than prolonged exposure therapy. Utilizing a time limited and precise method, BTRT seeks to provide relief of trauma symptoms without the patient enduring long periods of exposures, thereby minimizing discomfort and fear. I have extensive training in this method by the International Association of Trauma Professionals.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach primarily used to help children ages 3 to 12 explore their lives and freely express repressed thoughts and emotions through play. Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, learn a variety of ways of relating to others, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.

Family Systems Therapy

Family systems therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals resolve their problems in the context of their family units, where many issues are likely to begin. Each family member works together with the others to better understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most important premises of family systems therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family.
