I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, supported, and challenged to create meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and practical. I work collaboratively with clients to understand what has brought them to therapy while helping them develop the tools and skills needed to move forward. I know from both my professional experience and my own personal experience with therapy that real growth happens when we are willing to look honestly at our struggles and learn healthier ways of coping. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences while working toward lasting change.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- 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.
- 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.
- Equine-Assisted Therapy (Horse Therapy) Involves interactions with horses to support emotional awareness and growth. It can build trust, confidence, and calmness.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- 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.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
Approach Description: We recognize that earlier life events often dictate your current reactions and social dynamics. These formative years can influence your capacity for trust and your daily sense of security. True progress starts when we observe these behaviors with kindness rather than shame. Our clinicians work with you to refine your psychological tools, boost your confidence, and foster healthier connections. We provide a space that is both nurturing and results-driven, ensuring every session moves you closer to your vision of health. Oak Bend Therapy seeks to provide more than a quick fix; we are dedicated to helping you realize a life that is steady, mindful, and robust.
