DBT therapy in New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island

You can create a life you’ve always dreamed of having. You just need the right tools and support to get there

You may feel overwhelmed, like your emotions are running the show- controlling you, the situation, and even your life. When you’re anxious, you might throw yourself into work and chase perfection. When you’re angry, you might lash out at loved ones, only to feel the distance afterward. Stress makes everything feel heavier and harder to manage. Or maybe, when things get too intense, you find yourself zoning out- your partner asking you for attention while your mind drifts somewhere else. Can you relate?

You want to feel steady and in control of your life, instead of letting your emotions take over

Maybe you notice yourself making impulsive choices- like saying yes to more work when you’re already stretched thin, texting your ex when the loneliness hits, or buying things you don’t actually need just to find temporary relief. In the moment it feels good, but later it leaves you feeling drained, ashamed, and even more stuck.

Maybe your friends have pointed out that your thinking can feel a little rigid or all-or-nothing- but to you, it’s just the way things have to be. If there’s work to be done, you’re the one who takes it on because otherwise it won’t be done right. And if you don’t? You beat yourself up and feel like a failure. You push yourself to keep up an image of perfection, going above and beyond to maintain it- and when it slips, it feels like everything is falling apart.

You’re tired of the pressure you put on yourself and the constant need to control everything around you. Deep down, you just want to feel steady and in control of your emotions and your life again, but you’re not sure how to get there. You know there are healthier ways to cope, but breaking out of old patterns and overwhelming thoughts isn’t easy. This is where Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can help.

You might benefit from DBT therapy if:

  • You feel overwhelmed by intense emotions and don’t know how to manage them

  • You notice your relationships often feel unstable or hard to maintain

  • Coping with distress feels exhausting and leaves you feeling stuck

  • You sometimes turn to self-destructive behaviors or thoughts of self-harm to cope

  • It’s hard for you to assert yourself or set boundaries without guilt

  • Your moods shift quickly, leaving you feeling emotionally unsteady

  • You act on impulses in the moment that you later regret

  • Thoughts of suicide or self-harm creep in when everything feels too heavy

DBT could be a good fit for you if:

  • You find yourself caught in difficult relationships- whether it’s with a partner, family, or friends

  • You struggle to manage your emotions, which can lead to impulsive choices you later wish you hadn’t made

  • You feel stuck in negative thought patterns and it’s hard to break free from them

  • Stress leaves you feeling overwhelmed, making even daily tasks and responsibilities feel like too much

  • Fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt keep you from moving forward and living the life you want

The benefits of DBT therapy in New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island

When you invest in yourself, you give yourself the chance to feel empowered, handle life’s challenges, and build a life that actually feels worth living. You don’t have to do it alone- it helps to have someone in your corner. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have led DBT groups for people navigating eating disorders in a hospital setting. I know how overwhelming the pressure can feel, and I want to walk alongside you, supporting you every step of the way. There are many benefits to therapy, including:

  • Learning practical skills to manage your emotions and respond in healthier ways

  • Building stronger, more fulfilling connections- with yourself and with the people in your life

  • Gaining clarity around your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can create real change

  • Developing self-compassion and acceptance, helping you feel more confident in who you are

  • Strengthening your relationships with loved ones while deepening your relationship with yourself

  • Feeling more comfortable showing up authentically in your connections with others

  • Improving your communication skills and navigating conflict with more ease

  • Becoming more present in your life and better able to manage everyday stress and responsibilities

You don’t have to feel stuck in your emotions anymore. With the right support, you can start to feel more in control and create a life you’ve always dreamed of having. Stress that once felt overwhelming can become manageable, and you can feel empowered as you move through challenges with confidence. As your therapist, I’ll be the ally in your corner- giving you the tools and support you need to live in alignment with your true self.

I want to empower you to feel grounded, confident, and in control

You may feel like your emotions are holding the pen right now, but you’re the one writing your story. As a DBT therapist, I know how overwhelming it can be when fear, doubt, or impulsive decisions seem to take over. My goal is to empower you with tools and support so you can create a life you’ve been dreaming of- one that feels true to you. I’ve led DBT groups for people in eating disorder treatment programs and worked with many others who have felt consumed by their emotions and unsure how to cope. Through DBT, they learned how to take back control and rebuild a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling- and you can too.

I BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL EMPOWERED AND IN CHARGE OF THEIR OWN LIFE
