My Approach

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    My use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Through CBT, we’ll work to uncover how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By developing healthier coping strategies and reframing negative beliefs, you can experience more control over your emotions and make positive, lasting changes in your life.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve interpersonal relationships. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is especially beneficial for those who feel stuck in emotional patterns or struggle with intense, shifting emotions.

  • Humanistic Therapy

    I take a humanistic approach to therapy, which emphasizes the importance of personal growth, self-acceptance, and authenticity. This client-centered model values your unique perspective and experiences, fostering a nonjudgmental, supportive environment. In humanistic therapy, you are seen as the expert of your own life, and our work together focuses on empowering you to explore your potential and live a more fulfilling, meaningful life.

  • Somatic / Mindfulness Therapy

    Somatic and mindfulness-based therapy focuses on the vital connection between the mind and body, helping clients process emotions and trauma through bodily awareness. In our sessions, you will engage in mindfulness practices—such as breath awareness and gentle movement—that encourage you to tune into physical sensations and release stored tension. This gentle approach fosters greater self-awareness and emotional regulation, empowering you to stay present and reduce anxiety in daily life. Together, we will create a supportive space for healing that integrates both mind and body, guiding you toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
