What I Specialize In

I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, curiosity, and respect. Together, we will tailor treatment to align with your unique experiences, values, and goals, ensuring that therapy feels meaningful, supportive, and responsive to your needs. I strive to meet you where you are, honoring both the challenges you’re facing and the resilience you bring with you. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). These approaches are thoughtfully integrated and adapted to support healing from trauma, anxiety, mood concerns, and other emotional challenges. ​

More About the People I Treat

In our work together, therapy may include: Exploring the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors to build awareness and understanding of your inner world. Identifying and gently challenging unhelpful or distorted thought patterns, and practicing ways to reframe them into more balanced, compassionate perspectives. Learning practical skills to strengthen mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping you navigate difficult moments with greater confidence and steadiness. Gradual and supported exposure to feared situations, thoughts, or memories related to traumatic experiences, always within a safe and collaborative environment that prioritizes your sense of control and safety.
