Services
I provide individual therapy to children, teens, and adults. I treat a range of presenting problems, with specialty in anxiety and mood disorders, OCD, trauma- and stress-related disorders, and life transitions. My therapy approach is collaborative, warm, and genuine. I join with clients as they clarify their values, set goals, redefine boundaries, and try new things, recognizing the vulnerability and courage it takes to grow.
I work from an evidence-based framework, providing treatments that have been found to be effective and successful through research studies. I integrate mindfulness-based practices and emphasize values. Each client’s treatment plan is individualized based on their presenting concerns and revised throughout therapy as needed.
What is evidence-based therapy?
Evidence-based therapy refers to psychological treatments proven by research studies to be effective for treating psychological problems.
I draw from evidence-based modalities in my clinical work and frequently integrate values to include a focus on increasing meaningful action in one’s life.
CBT, ACT, and DBT are some of the modalities I often use in treatment.
-
CBT is based on evidence that our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are interconnected. This means that by changing your thoughts and behaviors, you can change the way you feel. CBT helps you learn to think and act in ways that help you feel better and get your closer to reaching your goals.
-
ACT is an evidence-based therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies to explore emotions, thought patterns, and experiences. ACT aims to increase psychological flexibility and help you engage in your life in ways that align with your values.
-
DBT teaches concrete, applied skills to help manage difficult emotions and impulse-driven behaviors in service of living a more balanced and values-aligned life. Skills include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. As comprehensive DBT programs require more intensive services than I can provide, I offer DBT-informed treatment and refer out for DBT skills group.
