Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals and couples identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and relationship challenges. My approach is collaborative and practical, focusing on increasing awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to challenge cognitive distortions, develop healthier perspectives, and build coping strategies that support emotional regulation and resilience. CBT interventions are tailored to each client’s goals and are often paired with skill-building and accountability to support meaningful, sustainable change both in and outside of sessions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support individuals and couples in strengthening emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. My approach focuses on helping clients develop practical tools to manage intense emotions, reduce reactivity, and respond more effectively to stress and relationship challenges. DBT skills are introduced in a structured and supportive manner, with emphasis on mindfulness, coping strategies, and accountability. These interventions help clients build resilience, improve communication, and increase their ability to navigate difficult emotions and situations with greater balance and confidence.

Gottman method

I use Gottman Method–informed couples therapy to help partners strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, and manage conflict in healthier, more productive ways. My approach focuses on identifying interaction patterns, reducing negative cycles, and building practical skills such as effective communication, emotional attunement, and conflict management. I integrate Gottman-based strategies within a trauma-informed and strengths-focused framework, supporting couples in increasing understanding, accountability, and mutual respect. This structured approach helps couples build resilience, improve relational stability, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help individuals and couples increase present-moment awareness, reduce emotional reactivity, and strengthen overall emotional regulation. My approach is practical and trauma-informed, focusing on simple, accessible mindfulness strategies such as grounding, breath awareness, and intentional pauses rather than rigid or overly abstract practices. Mindfulness is often integrated alongside CBT and DBT skills to support stress reduction, improve focus, and increase resilience. These practices help clients respond more thoughtfully to internal experiences and relational stressors, supporting greater balance, clarity, and emotional stability in daily life.

Attachment-based

I use attachment-based therapy to help individuals and couples understand how early relational experiences influence emotional regulation, self-concept, and relationship patterns in adulthood. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, focusing on identifying attachment styles, increasing emotional awareness, and addressing patterns that contribute to anxiety, relationship conflict, or emotional disconnection. Attachment-based work is often integrated with CBT, DBT, and Gottman-informed strategies to support healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and greater emotional security. This approach helps clients build resilience, improve relationships, and develop more secure and fulfilling connections with themselves and others.
