Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
(DBT) in Toronto &
Online Across Canada
Support for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship struggles

DBT helps teens, young adults, and parents build skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy relationships.

Feel like your emotions take over sometimes?

You may not have learned the tools to handle big feelings, intense urges, or painful thoughts. DBT offers practical strategies to help you manage emotions without spiralling, set boundaries without guilt, and get through hard moments without shutting down.

What DBT Can Help With:

  • Intense or rapidly shifting emotions

​

  • Suicidal thoughts or self-harm urges

​

  • Difficulty with anger, shame, or rejection

​

  • Black-and-white thinking or impulsive behaviour

​

  • Chronic anxiety or emotional overwhelm

​

  • Feeling stuck in the same patterns, even when you want change

​

  • Difficulty navigating peer, family, or romantic relationships

​

My Approach to DBT

I use DBT in an individualized way, blending it with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed practices to meet your specific needs.

 

We focus on building real-world skills in four key areas:

​

  • Mindfulness: Stay grounded and aware in the present moment

​

  • Distress Tolerance: Survive emotional crises without making things worse

​

  • Emotion Regulation: Understand and manage overwhelming emotions

​

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Communicate needs and set boundaries with confidence

​
