I believe the therapeutic relationship is a crucial change agent. Combined with evidence-based practices, I hope to connect and engage with clients in ways that are:
Compassionate
Trauma-Informed
Inclusive of all identities
Authentic
Empathic
Friendly
Approachable
Approach to Treatment
Therapeutic Modalities
Evidence-based treatments that have been well-researched and have shown effectiveness
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Focused on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Learn to shift behaviors by changing your relationship with thoughts and feelings.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
A mindfulness-based treatment that promotes the acceptance of things out of our control and a commitment to the things that are in our control. Explore values that contribute to meaningful living and make decisions that feel beneficial to your growth.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
The gold-standard treatment for OCD. Tolerate intrusive thoughts while reducing compulsive behaviors that might be keeping you stuck. Face fears gradually and build the confidence to tolerate discomfort.
Habit Reversal Training (HRT)
Treatment for body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation (skin picking). Combine awareness, fidgets, and coping strategies to reduce unwanted habits.
