Even though emotions are literally part of every minute of our life, most of us receive no formal education about them.  If you are lucky enough to grow up in a healthy environment, you likely gleaned healthy patterns from your family.  For those of us that had chaotic or unpredictable childhoods, we picked up unhelpful patterns of dealing with emotions.  The good news is....emotions are fairly simple to understand!  Once you understand them, you can control them.  The DBT skills provide a framework for understanding and controlling emotions.  

I am a firm believer that absolutely everyone could benefit from learning the DBT Skills!  Marsha Linehan developed this combined approach of over 50 skills to help her clients achieve the lasting change they so desperately desired.  Building on a foundation of Mindfulness, clients also learn Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance & Interpersonal Effectiveness skills.  When combined together, the skills provide a comprehensive framework for approaching any situation involving emotion - no matter how intense!  

I offer a variety of approaches to learning the DBT Skills, as I believe they should be accessible for everyone.  All levels include instruction + homework assignments personally reviewed by me.  The goal is not jut to learn the material, but to get out and start using it in your life!!
