Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT)

Find Balance. Regulate Emotions. Build a Life Worth Living.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is especially helpful for:

    •    Intense mood swings or emotional overwhelm

    •    Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or impulsive behaviors

    •    Borderline personality traits or diagnosis

    •    Chronic feelings of emptiness or self-loathing

    •    Explosive anger or emotional shutdown

    •    Relationship chaos, fear of abandonment, or trust issues

    •    Anxiety, depression, or trauma-related distress

    •    Teens and young adults navigating big emotional shifts

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful, skills-based therapy designed to help people who experience intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or self-destructive behaviors. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven incredibly effective for anyone struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, or black-and-white thinking.

As a licensed psychotherapist trained in DBT, I help clients build the four core skill sets of this model: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers both structure and flexibility, helping you create real change while still honoring where you are right now.

Through a combination of skill-building, self-validation, and behavior change, DBT helps you find a middle path between acceptance and growth.  You don’t have to live at the mercy of your emotions. Let’s help you build stability, strength, and a life that feels worth showing up for.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
