Description
(NOW ENROLLING FOR AUGUST)
DBT Skills Group is a ZOOM group for residents of PA/NJ who have commercial insurance. Unfortunately, Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted at this time. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is one of the most effective treatments for individuals who have difficulty managing distressing emotions, maintaining healthy relationships, and remaining present in the moment instead of trapped in the past. These challenges often stem from complex trauma.
THIS IS NOT A PROCESSING GROUP. THIS GROUP IS MORE LIKE A CLASS.
Participants should have a primary therapist to support them with applying the skills that they learn in group.
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.
I am also available to provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed therapists in PA.
