In my practice, I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) within a trauma-informed care framework to support clients struggling with self-esteem, body image, and relationship issues. Recognizing the impact of trauma on these areas, I create a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel validated and understood. DBT's structured approach helps clients develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For self-esteem and body image concerns, I focus on helping clients cultivate self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, always being mindful of their trauma history. In addressing relationship issues, I guide clients in building healthier communication patterns and setting appropriate boundaries using DBT's interpersonal effectiveness skills, while ensuring a trauma-sensitive approach. By integrating these techniques, I empower clients to navigate their emotions more effectively, improve their self-perception, and foster more fulfilling relationships, all within a context that prioritizes their safety and well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will go over precipitating event for therapy, pertinent family influences on presenting problem, coping skills that have worked in the past, collaborate on treatment goals and set expectations for subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I think one of the greatest gifts you can give someone is your genuine, undivided attention. I help clients feel seen and heard. I’m warm, caring and compassionate. The most consistent feedback I get from my clients is that I didn’t give up on them.
