THERAPY APPROACHES

In addition to the approaches listed below, I draw on evidence-based interventions from motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, collaborative approach that looks at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will explore patterns that may contribute to anxiety, low mood, stress, or other challenges, while developing helpful ways of thinking and responding. CBT is often structured, goal-oriented, with an emphasis on building practical skills that can be applied to everyday life.

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you make room for difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences without letting them define or direct your life. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you and develop greater flexibility in how you respond to life's challenges. ACT offers space to meet yourself with more openness and compassion while taking meaningful steps toward the life and relationships you want to build.

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

  Exposure Therapy is a form of CBT and can be a supportive, gradual way to work through fears and anxieties that may be keeping you from living as fully as you'd like. Together, we'll gently move toward situations, sensations, or experiences that have become difficult or frightening, taking things one step at a time and at a pace that feels manageable. Through this process, you'll have the opportunity to build confidence, discover that discomfort can be navigated without avoidance, and develop greater freedom to engage in the people, activities, and experiences that matter most to you.

AREAS OF SUPPORT

These are some of the concerns I commonly support in therapy.

• Anxiety & Depression

  Anxiety and depression can affect your thoughts, energy, relationships, and daily routines. We can explore what you're experiencing and work on effective ways to respond.

  This may include severe anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intrusive thoughts, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

• Grief & Loss

  Grief can come from death, job loss, identity changes, pet loss, or other painful transitions. It can look different for everyone.

• Life Transitions

  This may include job shifts, having a child, parenting, fostering or adoption, divorce, separation, or other major changes.

• Relationships

  This may include communication, conflict resolution, or navigating change.

• ADHD

  ADHD can affect attention, organization, time management, and emotions. We can build strategies that fit your daily life.

• Anger Management

  This may include emotional regulation, communication, and new ways to behave when anger or distress feel debilitating or overwhelming.
