Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps identify the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we explore patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or self-doubt and work toward developing healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and coping. This approach focuses on practical tools that can support meaningful and lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT builds skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication. It supports balance between acceptance and change, helping you manage intense emotions without losing connection to yourself or others. DBT can be especially helpful for individuals who feel emotionally overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in painful relational patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths, resilience, and practical change. Together, we identify what is already working and build from there. This approach helps create realistic and meaningful steps forward while focusing on your abilities, goals, and existing resources rather than remaining stuck in the problem itself.

Person-Centered Therapy

Person-Centered Therapy is grounded in trust, authenticity, and your unique lived experience. I believe you are the expert on your own life, even during moments when things may feel uncertain or overwhelming. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and safe enough to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.

Exposure and Response Prevention

ERP helps you approach the thoughts, situations, sensations, and uncertainties that trigger OCD while reducing the compulsions and avoidance that provide short-term relief but strengthen OCD over time.

Exposure work is planned collaboratively and approached gradually. The goal is not to force you into frightening situations. It is to help you learn that you can experience uncertainty and discomfort without allowing OCD to determine what you do next.

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

I-CBT helps identify how OCD creates doubt by treating an imagined possibility as though it carries more weight than present-moment evidence.

Treatment focuses on understanding the reasoning process behind obsessive doubt, recognizing when you have entered OCD’s imagined narrative, and strengthening trust in the information available through your direct experience.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and helping you respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with greater openness and self-compassion. Rather than trying to eliminate discomfort completely, ACT helps you learn how to make space for your experiences while still moving toward the life and values that matter most to you.
