Services
Individual Therapy
This is typically done weekly. Time for processing diary cards, and how you are applying your DBT skills in daily life
Skills Training Group
A 90 minute, weekly group where DBT skills are taught and homework is assigned. We use Marsha Linehan’s curriculum. The book I have clients order is: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets (Guilford Press, 2025)
Phone Skills Coaching
This is a unique feature of DBT! Clients are allowed to contact their counselor outside of sessions, if they need coaching for how to apply a skill in a challenging situation. There is a small fee for this service, which will be discussed at intake.

ABOUT ME:
I am a native to East TN, but spent the majority of my adulthood living up and down the East Coast. In 2025 I returned to my “roots” to be closer to family, and to share my skills and training with those who need it. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) in TN with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Webster University (studied in Charleston SC). I have been extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy by Behavior Tech (Marsha Linehan’s company) and am certified by PESI. I have facilitated DBT individual and groups for a large state agency in S. Carolina, as well as two private practices. I fully believe in the ability of DBT to change lives, because of what I’ve witnessed in the lives of my clients, and how I try to apply the skills in my own life.
