Description
DBT Skills Group is an open group. Clients who benefit from DBT skills are those with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder and/or complex trauma. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is one of the most effective treatments for clients who may have difficulty regulating distressing emotions and find that trauma from their past causes significant disruptions to their lives in the present.
This is a SKILLS ONLY group. This is NOT a processing group. It is strongly advised that participants have an individual primary therapist who will support them with applying the skills that they learn in group. This group is VIRTUAL ONLY.
Group Therapist
I am a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with over a decade of experience helping clients navigate their unique journeys toward healing and self-empowerment. Licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I offer online therapy to ensure accessibility, providing one-on-one sessions tailored to individual needs and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills group sessions. My practice focuses on trauma recovery, mood disorders, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, creating a space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported.
My professional journey has been shaped by my dedication to working with individuals from marginalized communities. In my therapeutic work, I employ a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I am certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and integrate my expertise with ongoing learning. Currently, I am pursuing a certificate in neuroscience through the University of Pennsylvania’s Liberal & Professional Studies online program, with expected completion in Spring 2026. This advanced training reflects my commitment to staying at the forefront of therapeutic care.
As a clinician with her own lived experience of managing mental health challenges and complex trauma, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I understand the courage it takes to seek support and the perseverance required to make progress. My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes that healing is not a linear process but one measured in small, meaningful steps. With warmth and authenticity, I partner with my clients to celebrate every inch of forward movement.
