Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize CBT regularly in my practice to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I guide clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new coping skills, and applying strategies between sessions. I adapt CBT techniques to each client’s goals, so the work feels practical and empowering.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I utilize DBT to help clients build skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I focus on teaching practical tools, reviewing how they’re used in daily life, and balancing acceptance with change. I adapt DBT strategies to each client’s needs and integrate them with other approaches when helpful.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is a big part of how I work. I use it to help clients slow down, notice what’s happening inside them, and respond rather than react. Sometimes that means doing a short grounding exercise in session, and other times it’s about helping clients develop a more compassionate, present‑moment way of relating to their thoughts and feelings.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I’m trained in person‑centered therapy, and I use its core principles—empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity—to guide my work. I create a supportive, non‑judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and move toward their own goals. Even when I use other modalities, my approach remains collaborative and client‑led.

Strength-Based

I use a strength‑based approach by helping clients identify and build on their existing skills, values, and resilience. I focus on what’s working, highlight past successes, and support clients in using their strengths to create change. This perspective informs my work even when I integrate other modalities.
