Trauma-Focused CBT

I have experience working with adults who have experienced a wide range of traumatic events and circumstances. This includes severe trauma resulting from deeply shocking or life-threatening experiences such as domestic violence, sexual assault, military combat, serious accidents, natural disasters, and other events that can create intense feelings of fear, helplessness, terror, or loss of safety. I also work with individuals impacted by cumulative or ongoing trauma, sometimes referred to as "little t" trauma, including childhood abuse or neglect, bullying, emotional abuse, divorce, financial hardship, chronic stress, job loss, and other experiences that may overwhelm a person's ability to cope over time. Additionally, I recognize the impact of secondary trauma, which can occur when supporting or caring for a loved one who has experienced trauma. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and collaborative, incorporating Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TI-CBT) and other evidence-based interventions tailored to each individual's unique needs and experiences. I understand that trauma can contribute to symptoms of PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and emotional regulation. Through a trauma-informed CBT approach, individuals can develop a greater understanding of how traumatic experiences influence thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships while learning practical skills to manage distress and foster resilience. Treatment focuses on creating emotional safety, building coping skills, increasing self-awareness, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and processing traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable and empowering. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can gain insight into the effects of trauma, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward healing, growth, and improved well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have experience working with individuals who have experienced or are currently navigating depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, stress-related conditions, and substance use challenges. Using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, I collaborate with those I serve to identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and build practical skills that can be applied in everyday life. My approach is supportive, goal-oriented, and tailored to each individual's unique needs, helping them manage symptoms, overcome obstacles, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting positive change.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

My experience utilizing Solution-Focused Therapy includes working with individuals experiencing relationship challenges, family dysfunction, life transitions, stress, and personal growth concerns. This strengths-based, goal-oriented approach helps individuals identify what is working well, clarify their goals, and build upon existing strengths and resources to create meaningful change. Rather than focusing extensively on problems, Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical solutions, achievable steps, and the possibilities for a preferred future. I often incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy as a complementary approach alongside other evidence-based approaches, particularly when supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. By helping individuals recognize their resilience, past successes, and existing capabilities, this approach can foster hope, increase motivation, and support progress toward meaningful goals. Through a collaborative process, individuals develop practical strategies that promote confidence, empowerment, and lasting positive change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

My experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes supporting individuals in developing skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This evidence-based approach provides practical strategies that help individuals manage intense emotions, navigate challenging situations, improve communication, and build healthier relationships. DBT has been shown to be effective in treating borderline personality disorder (BPD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, substance use challenges, and difficulties related to emotional dysregulation. I often incorporate DBT as a complementary approach alongside other evidence-based therapeutic interventions. The skills-based nature of DBT can enhance treatment by helping individuals strengthen coping abilities, increase emotional awareness, tolerate distress more effectively, and apply practical tools in everyday life. Through a collaborative process, individuals learn strategies that support greater emotional balance, resilience, and overall well-being.

Feminist

My experience utilizing Feminist Therapy includes supporting individuals in exploring how social, cultural, relational, and systemic influences have shaped their experiences, beliefs, relationships, and sense of self. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, incest, emotional abuse, coercive control, gender-based discrimination, gender dysphoria, relationship challenges, and issues related to power, oppression, and inequality. Feminist Therapy recognizes the impact that societal expectations and unequal power dynamics can have on emotional well-being and personal identity. My approach emphasizes empowerment, collaboration, validation, and self-determination. Together, we examine patterns that may contribute to distress, challenge limiting beliefs, identify strengths, and foster greater agency and self-advocacy. I often incorporate Feminist Therapy as a complementary approach alongside other evidence-based interventions to support healing, resilience, healthy boundaries, and a stronger sense of worth, voice, and personal empowerment.
