I provide individual therapy to adults suffering from a range of mental health conditions including anxiety and mood disorders. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic relationship in a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to determine the best way to achieve your goals.
My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapies, like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I also draw from other interventions such as mindfulness, alliance-building, and acceptance-based strategies. Together, these approaches provide a structured framework for understanding and altering thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My goal is to guide clients in developing coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, and gain insight into patterns of behavior to help alleviate distress and foster personal growth.
Below is a list of some treatments I use along with articles that provide detailed descriptions of the therapeutic intervention.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/dialectical-behavior-therapy
This article from Psychology Today provides background information on what dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is and how it can be used to help people suffering from a wide range of mental health conditions. In the article, you will find a description of the four key skill areas used in DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/patients-and-families/cognitive-behavioral
This article from the American Psychological Association describes what cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is, the theory supporting the treatment, and what someone can expect from a therapist who uses this therapeutic approach.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/treatments/cognitive-processing-therapy
This is another article from the American Psychological Association that describes cognitive processing therapy (CPT). You may notice that is sounds very similar to CBT, and that is no accident. The two treatments share a lot of similarities, however CPT is used specifically for people who have trauma or PTSD. The article explains what is involved in CPT and also includes some helpful resources.
