Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I regularly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. With CBT, we work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more balanced, realistic ways of thinking. Over time, this approach can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase confidence. I tailor CBT to each person’s needs—whether you're managing everyday stress or navigating more persistent struggles like OCD, ADHD, or relationship challenges. It's a practical, empowering approach that helps you take meaningful steps toward change.

Grief Therapy

Grief looks different for everyone, and there’s no “right” way to move through it. In our work together, I provide a compassionate space where you can process loss at your own pace—whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, a life transition, or even a version of yourself you’ve had to let go. Grief counseling allows us to honor your experience while gently helping you find meaning, healing, and a way forward that feels authentic to you.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use a solution-focused approach to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered. We’ll identify what’s already working in your life, clarify your goals, and build practical steps you can try right away. If you’re unsure about long-term therapy, solution-focused work can be a great way to start — we focus on your goals and what you want to change, and you can decide what comes next. My style is person-centered, non-judgmental, and focused on your strengths

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

If you feel stuck in cycles of stress or emotional overwhelm, DBT skills can help you regain control and feel more stable. We’ll focus on building skills that improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and self-compassion. I also incorporate mindfulness and grounding tools to support emotional regulation and stress relief.
