I understand that reaching out for support can be a significant step, and I'm here to provide comfort and support throughout this process. My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on scienced-backed approaches, and am dedicated to meeting you wherever you are in your unique journey. Together we tailor the approach to meet your specific needs, integrating research-based, ethical, and well established interventions, in a space that is non-judgmental, supportive, and flexible to suit your life circumstances. My approach also emphasizes collaboration with my clients. I am here to listen and learn about your strengths, struggles, and the intricacies of your situation. Together, we'll create a strong understanding and plan that ensures we are meeting your goals for therapy, and which evolves as we make progress. My role is to guide you towards healing and growth, helping you develop new ways of relating to both yourself and others.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) An evidence-based treatment for PTSD that teaches clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts about trauma. It helps reduce guilt, shame, and fear.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
- Schema Therapy Identifies deep-rooted negative patterns formed in childhood. It combines CBT, attachment theory, and experiential methods for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Appointments typically starts with 1-2 sessions to help understand the nature of the problem, what precipitated the visit, and what your goals are for therapy.
Following this, we collaboratively set treatment goals and create a treatment plan to begin therapy. Sessions can be completed either in-person, online, or in a hybrid model to provide you with flexibility and choose what works for you. This is also true in terms of frequency of sessions, which we can discuss in order to settle on a cadence that works for you.
