What's My Approach to Therapy?

*Accepting new clients* I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, fostering trusting therapeutic alliances that allow our time to be collaborative, supportive, and effective. Together we can explore what comes up or work toward specific goals—whichever is most beneficial for you at the time. Either way, we will develop strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, stress, difficult feelings, habits behaviors, relationship issues, or other challenges while you invest in your self-care and well-being.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can process and explore openly, with sessions tailored to your needs so that each one feels cathartic and productive. Understanding that your experience is unique, I take an integrative approach to our work, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Strengths-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

If this resonates with you, I look forward to connecting.
