Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Feeling out of control, yearning for closeness and then rejecting intimacy can lead to lots of unhappiness. Working together, we can begin to see the pattern, how it developed, and how to navigate safety with others, leading to secure relationships.

Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the most effective treatments for emotion regulation difficulties. Our goal is to help our clients find a life worth living.
It has been used with both adolescents and adults for the treatment of self-injury, suicidality, personality disorders, substance use, eating disorders, and several other psychological problems.
Our DBT team has completed the Behavioral Tech Official DBT Intensive Training. Further, DBT therapists make a commitment to ongoing education in DBT, other evidence-based treatments, suicide prevention, integrating trauma-based approaches with DBT, and ethics.
We are one of the few local sites that offers the full DBT program, which includes individual therapy (once per week), skills group training (once per week), telephone coaching (as needed), and therapist collaborative consultation.
DBT is ideal for clients with one or more of these emotional experiences:
• Painful emotions from which a person feels there is no escape
• A chronic sense of "feeling nothing"
• Quickly shifting from one emotion to another
• Feeling like emotions are overwhelming, confusing, or controlling your life
• Having problems with anger, anxiety, and depression
In addition, DBT addresses the following difficulties:
• Difficulties in interpersonal relationships
• Living with a sense of emptiness or feeling like you are confused about who you are
• Impulsive behavior, suicide attempts, or self-injury
• Confused or fearful thinking
• Coping with distress through self-harm, eating, substance use, risky sexual behaviors, or avoiding everything
