The Work

I work with a variety of presenting concerns in addition to my specialties, such as depression, grief, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), life transitions, and more. My style as a therapist is warm, present, authentic, and goal-focused. My work is not just support, it's moving in a direction towards a meaningful and thriving life. I utilize evidence-based therapies that have been shown through scientific research to be effective.

My Approach

My approach to this work and modalities used are cultivated and tailored based on evidence-based research and years of training.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychological approach that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them. It emphasizes living in alignment with personal values and committing to behaviors that promote well-being, even in the presence of difficult emotions or thoughts. ACT combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies to help people develop psychological flexibility and lead more meaningful lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress and problematic behaviors. It emphasizes the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, teaching clients practical skills to reframe negative thinking and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is focused on problem-solving and goal-setting, aiming to promote lasting changes in both thought processes and behavior.

Relational Therapy

Relational therapy focuses on the importance of relationships in emotional well-being, emphasizing the impact of interpersonal dynamics on mental health. It aims to improve communication, foster deeper emotional connections, and resolve patterns of dysfunctional interaction within personal relationships. By exploring past and present relational experiences, relational therapy helps individuals understand how these patterns influence their self-concept and behaviors, leading to healthier connections with others.

Multicultural Lens

Multicultural therapy acknowledges and integrates the diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds of individuals into the therapeutic process. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and cultural identity shape a person's experiences, worldview, and mental health. This approach aims to provide culturally sensitive care, foster inclusivity, and address issues of power, privilege, and oppression, creating a space where clients feel seen, understood, and validated.
