Life is exhausting.

Feeling that horrible pit in your stomach, the fear of rejection, of loathing your life just zaps every ounce of energy from you. Waking up each morning to find yourself dreading the day because life is such a mess. It’s just no way to live.

Unfortunately, waking up and feeling completely wiped out before your feet even touch the ground is a common experience among people searching for my help. You don’t have to go on like this.

Can you imagine a life where you’re working toward your goals and actually making progress every day?

You can look forward to the day even if there are some things that are difficult because you know (I mean really KNOW) that you can tackle them. You have that power within you. You can tap into that power and truly discover who you are.

Finding yourself is possible.

My clients rarely know just how awesome and interesting they are when we first start treatment. They’ve spent so long identifying themselves by who they’re around that they never got to discover the intimate details of themselves.

We figure out what motivates you, what works for you, and what you really want out of life. This doesn’t mean that we will change who you are. In fact, I want to dive into who you are and make you MORE of that.

What it DOES mean is that we discover what parts of you are really based in fear, trauma, insecurity – and we let them go – they aren’t really part of you anyway.

DBT is different from other kinds of therapy.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is about helping people who feel certain they can’t change. It helps people to change despite trying many times before or having huge obstacles standing in your way. It helps you get to a place of understanding yourself, others, and the world in a way that just works better for you.

Most clients come in with the idea that real improvement will take years and years, but this is not the case.

In the vast majority of my clients, I see incredible improvement in about six months – and phenomenal, life-changing progress, over the course of a year.

Therapy can be difficult.

Now, I’m not saying this is some miracle cure. It takes time and real effort.

It can be painful at times to face what others have done to us and what we have done to others. Doing that in therapy is much LESS painful then acting it out through years of failed relationships and heart-wrenching emotional reactions.

You get from it what you put into it.

“Call it in” (i.e., half-ass it), and you won’t see the amazing results I’ve described here. But I’m all in and will stand by you as you move toward your goals!
