Tell me more about your theoretical approach.

How do you think about therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a semi-structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges.

How it works: Together, we’ll analyze the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and implement practical strategies to foster positive change.

What to expect: You’ll develop skills to manage unhelpful thought patterns, reduce emotional distress, and approach life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

CBT is considered the gold standard treatment for anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is an evidence-based approach that builds on CBT by incorporating mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques. While developed for use with specific personality disorders, it can be applied widely, and focuses on skill development

How it works: This method focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping you manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and navigate stressful situations.

What to expect: You’ll learn tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and effective communication, allowing you to build resilience and maintain stability in challenging moments.

A Relational Approach

The Power of Connection

At the core of my work is a relational approach, which recognizes that our relationships—past and present—play a vital role in shaping who we are.

This method focuses on understanding the connections between your interpersonal dynamics, emotional patterns, and overall well-being.

What Is a Relational Approach?

A relational approach explores how your interactions with others, including the therapeutic relationship, influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s about identifying patterns, understanding how they developed, and learning how they impact your life today.

How It Works

Exploration of Relationships: Together, we’ll examine your experiences in key relationships, including family, friendships, romantic partners, and colleagues.

Insight into Patterns: We’ll uncover recurring dynamics that may be limiting your ability to form meaningful and fulfilling connections.

Therapeutic Connection: The relationship we build in therapy serves as a safe space to reflect, grow, and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Why It Matters

Relationships are fundamental to emotional well-being. A relational approach helps you:

  • Develop deeper self-awareness about how you engage with others.

  • Build healthier, more satisfying relationships.

  • Strengthen your sense of self in connection to those around you.

  • Address long-standing interpersonal challenges that may contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.
