My approach therapy is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your life.

There is no single approach that works for everyone. Therapy should be shaped around your goals, your circumstances, and what is actually getting in the way. Some people need concrete strategies and structure. Others benefit from slowing down, understanding patterns more deeply, or learning how to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions.

My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify patterns in the way thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. We use that understanding to challenge unhelpful thinking, change patterns that keep you stuck, and develop more effective ways of responding to anxiety, depression, stress, procrastination, and other concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills
DBT provides practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive or self-defeating behaviors. These skills can be especially useful when emotions feel difficult to regulate or when short-term coping strategies are creating longer-term problems.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of becoming more aware of what is happening in the present moment without immediately reacting to it. It can help create greater distance from anxious thoughts, urges, and habitual reactions, making it easier to respond intentionally rather than automatically.

Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based Therapy
Therapy does not need to focus exclusively on what is wrong. We also look at what is already working, identify strengths and resources you can build upon, and develop concrete steps toward the changes you want to make.

The goal is not simply to understand yourself better. It is to translate insight into meaningful change outside of the therapy room.
