Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I work with clients to accept their experiences with willingness and openness. I guide them in learning how to commit to their values and goals with the most helpful and useful actions available to them in their unique circumstances. Clients come away with a better understanding of what is important to them and how to pursue it while being more willing to accept the wide variety of experiences that life has to offer.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach where I have been able to help clients who struggle with maladaptive thought and behavior patterns learn healthier and more adaptive ones that they can apply in their lives going forward.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy

I have worked with several clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder who have been able to gain better management of their symptoms by working collaboratively through an exposure and response prevention approach.

Anxiety

I teach clients cognitive, somatic, and behavioral skills to manage anxiety in healthy and helpful ways even when it is not possible to get rid of. Clients can learn to gain better control over their anxious thoughts and can learn skills to cope with unpleasant feelings and sensations.

Depression

I help guide clients toward improved mood and better mental and emotional wellbeing through cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment, as well as mindfulness approaches. Clients tend to come away with an improved mood and better sense of well-being, less negative-self talk, and more willingness to pursue their core values.

OCD

I utilize exposure and response prevention as well mindfulness in a collaborative and compassionate way in order to help clients manage their OCD symptoms. The clients I have worked with who struggle with OCD tend to come away with significantly less struggle with their obsessions and better management of their compulsions.

Adjustment Disorder

I help clients navigate through the mental, emotional, and behavioral symptoms resulting from major life stressors through cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment approaches. I help clients make meaning of their experiences and learn coping skills to manage distress.
