My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I take time to understand you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms—and we decide together what would be most helpful.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sometimes the way we think about a situation can make anxiety, stress, or self-doubt feel even stronger. Together, we can identify those patterns and develop healthier, more helpful ways of responding.
I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is not about getting rid of every uncomfortable thought or feeling. Instead, it helps you learn how to make space for difficult emotions without letting them control your life, while becoming clearer about what matters to you and taking steps toward the life you want.
When appropriate, I may incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a therapy approach that can help the brain process distressing or overwhelming experiences that may still feel emotionally “stuck.” Rather than having to repeatedly talk through every detail, EMDR uses structured techniques, including bilateral stimulation, to help reduce the emotional intensity connected to difficult memories or experiences.
Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may also work on emotional regulation, attention, organization, coping skills, self-confidence, relationships, parenting, or navigating major life changes. I tailor therapy to your needs rather than expecting one approach to work for everyone.
