DBT-informed therapy in Victoria BC

When emotions spike fast, when you shut down, or when relationships feel like a constant push-pull, it can be exhausting. DBT offers practical skills to help you get back on your feet: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. In-person downtown Victoria and online across BC.

Approach: Skills training plus real-world practice, blended with trauma-informed and somatic work when helpful.

Helps with

  • Big emotional swings, reactivity, or feeling “too much”
  • Impulsive coping, self-sabotage, or shutdown/avoidance
  • Relationship ruptures from conflict, withdrawal, or misattunement
  • Learning boundaries and asking for what you need more clearly

What to expect

We'll build a toolbox you can rely on: grounding, distress tolerance, emotion regulation plans, and interpersonal scripts for hard conversations. We'll practice in real time and troubleshoot what gets in the way. When trauma is part of the picture, we'll pace the work with care and weave in somatic regulation.
