Treatment Approach
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) A trauma-focused therapy that uses eye movements and imagery to help the brain reframe distressing memories. It often leads to quicker relief from symptoms compared to traditional talk therapy.
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- 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.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- 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.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Helps parents strengthen their bond with their child while learning effective strategies to manage challenging behaviors. Through live coaching, parents practice positive communication, set clear boundaries, and build a more supportive, nurturing home environment.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- 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: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy:
Using DBT, you will learn to begin to master effective evidence-based strategies designed to help you restructure your thoughts, regulate your emotions and reinforce behaviors in ways that powerfully inspire and move you to create a life you love.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy® :
Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) is a brief, structured psychotherapy that helps people resolve distressing memories and symptoms by reprocessing how those memories are stored in the brain; often in as little as one session. ART integrates eye-movement techniques with image rescripting to reduce emotional and physiological reactivity while clients stay in control throughout the process. Through ART, clients are able to erase negative images associated with memories, resulting in the elimination of corresponding triggers while preserving the factual memory.
Play Therapy:
Child-centered and neurodiversity affirming play therapy for children of all ages and abilities. The approaches are tailored to fit each child's needs.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community and families including gender non-conforming, non-binary and transgender youth and adults. I am a sex-positive therapist. I have knowledge and experience working with polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous individuals and families.
I provide play therapy to children of all ages and I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for children 1-8 years old and FirstPlay Therapy for children 0-3 years old. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which is a skill based therapy that teaches new habits to create positive change which I love to use when working with teens. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ children and adolescents and have helped children and adolescents navigate discovering their gender identity and sexual orientation.
I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community including gender expansive, non-binary and transgender youth and adults. I am a sex-positive therapist and I am kink and polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous affirming.
I use a family systems and attachment approach when working with families and relationships. I believe that all individuals navigate the world as part of a system and providing therapy within the system is most effective when striving to create change.
