How We Work Together

Evidence-based therapies, tailored to what you actually need

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Identifies and challenges negative thought patterns that drive anxious or depressed feelings. Practical, structured, and proven effective.

Dialectical Behavioral (DBT)

Skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Especially helpful for emotional intensity, self-harm urges, and borderline patterns.

Psychodynamic

Explores how past experiences shape your current reality. Best for complex relationship patterns, identity questions, and recurring life themes.

Family Therapy

Addresses dynamics within the family system. Valuable for parent-child conflict, communication breakdown, and healing relational wounds.

Gestalt

Focuses on present-moment awareness and self-acceptance. Excellent for personal growth, identity questions, and existential concerns.

Mindfulness-Based

Integrates present-moment awareness and meditation practices. Reduces anxiety and stress by gently shifting attention away from worry.

Interpersonal

Focuses on relationships and communication skills. Particularly effective for grief, major life transitions, and recurring relationship conflicts.

“When you use your insurance for mental health you must be given a psychiatric diagnosis. This becomes a permanent part of your health record. There are many people I see who may not warrant a diagnosis — I don’t believe this should keep them from seeing a therapist.”
