My approach to treatment
My mission is to help you ignite change in your life by fostering inspiration, hope, and joy through integrative, experiential, mindfulness-based, and evidence-based treatments.
Together we will help you discover your inner resilience, build insight and skills to strengthen your mind, release unhelpful coping mechanisms, and start walking through life in ways that align with your core values and renewed positive beliefs.
I value collaboration and a growth mindset in therapy, approaching each new experience with creativity, positivity, honesty, and empowerment. In our work together, I will lead with authenticity and help you hone your values so that you can step outside of your symptoms and into values-based living. I have found that, no matter the challenge, when my patients work on discovering what truly matters to them, they build confidence in themselves and report lasting improvements in their symptoms.
I work creatively, getting to know my patients first and curating treatments that best align with their difficulties and interests. I also strive to help my patients understand what psychological processes underly their symptoms so that they can uncover how to make lasting changes in their lives, going beyond simple symptom management. I have extensive experience in evidence-based modalities and weave them into treatment with each patient. Depending on your individual needs, learning style, interests, and the latest research, we may use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), manualized trauma treatments such as EMDR or Prolonged Exposure, or Schema Therapy. My practice is rooted in cultural humility and social justice, providing a safe and inclusive space for all.
