How I work
Following an initial assessment, we will work together to identify goals and determine an approach that best fits your needs. I draw from evidence-based and insight-oriented therapies, adapting treatment over time as clients grow and circumstances change.
My approach is flexible and client-centered, and may integrate elements from the following modalities:
-
DBT is a skills-based approach that focuses on building practical tools for managing emotions, navigating stress, and improving relationships. While originally developed for intense emotional dysregulation, many people find DBT skills helpful across a wide range of concerns. We may focus on:
Mindfulness - intentionally bringing yourself into the present moment
Distress tolerance - getting through difficult moments
Emotion regulation - learning to manage emotions more effectively
Interpersonal effectiveness - improving communication and relationships
-
CBT helps us understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — sometimes called the “cognitive triangle.” By noticing patterns in any part of this triangle, we can begin to interrupt cycles that maintain distress. In therapy, we work on gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, adjusting behaviors, and exploring emotional responses. CBT also incorporates exposure-based strategies when appropriate, helping clients gradually face fears or avoided situations in a safe, structured way. The goal is to reduce distress, build more flexible ways of thinking, and improve day-to-day functioning.
-
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed framework, recognizing how past experiences can continue to impact your current emotions, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy is paced carefully, with an emphasis on safety, stabilization, and choice. We focus on understanding how these past experiences shape functioning in the present, so we can work toward meaningful goals in daily life. This work often draws on trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, alongside EMDR-informed techniques when appropriate.
-
This approach focuses on understanding how early and ongoing relationships influence current patterns — including how you connect with others, experience closeness, and navigate emotional stress. Through this work, therapy becomes a space to notice and shift patterns that no longer serve you, supporting healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
-
ACT focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with your values. Rather than trying to control or eliminate internal experiences, this approach helps build psychological flexibility and a more compassionate relationship with your inner world. Mindfulness is often incorporated to increase awareness and intentional choice in the present moment.
