While each therapeutic journey is unique, my clinical practice is grounded in integrative, evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. These methods are used flexibly across individual, couple, and teen therapy, always with your lived experience at the center.
Approaches you may encounter in sessions include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Helps identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, while building practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood, or stress.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT):
Especially useful in couple therapy, EFT explores emotional responses and interactional patterns to create deeper connection, empathy, and emotional security.
Narrative Therapy:
Encourages re-authoring the stories we tell about ourselves, shifting from self-blame to empowerment and agency.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Cultivates awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce reactivity, regulate emotions, and build tolerance for distress.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT):
A forward-thinking model that emphasizes strengths, resources, and achievable goals—focusing on what’s working and how to build on it.
Internal Family Systems-Informed
Supports understanding of the different “parts” of ourselves—like the inner critic or the protector—with compassion, aiming to heal internal conflict.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy:
Combines mindfulness, values clarification, and acceptance strategies to help clients develop psychological flexibility. Rather than trying to eliminate distressing thoughts or feelings, ACT helps you create space for them while committing to actions aligned with your values.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):
A skills-based approach especially helpful for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Originally developed for intense emotional experiences, DBT promotes balance—between acceptance and change.
Trauma-Informed Practices:
Emphasizes emotional safety, consent, and empowerment in all interactions. Whether or not you name your experiences as trauma, therapy is always approached with respect for your pace and boundaries.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or direction, we work at your pace—gently, realistically, and with purpose.
