Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) extensively in my therapeutic work. I’m highly experienced in this model and focus on helping my clients build psychological flexibility — the ability to handle difficult thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them. My approach emphasizes practical skill-building while honoring each person’s values, personality, and goals. I customize ACT to each client. We work on changing your relationship with anxious or depressive thoughts (rather than fighting them), developing mindfulness skills, and clarifying what truly matters to you.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I integrate DBT skills into my work with clients who experience intense emotions, anxiety, mood swings, or difficulty coping with stress. I’m well-versed in DBT and use it in a structured but flexible way, adapting the skills to fit each person’s needs and daily life. I teach practical DBT tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. We'll tailor the therapy for your individual needs. That might mean focusing on reducing avoidance, managing emotional regulation, or coping in crisis.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a core part of my practice, and I use it regularly to treat a range of issues. I’m experienced in identifying patterns between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and I apply CBT in a collaborative, practical way that fits each client’s style and goals. Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns, avoidance behaviors, and habits that keep pain and suffering going. I customize CBT tools (such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and exposure-based strategies) so they feel manageable and relevant to your life.
