Individual Therapy
Individualized Therapeutic Approach
At the heart of my practice is the belief that therapy is about acceptance and change. I understand that no two people share the exact same experiences, feelings, or challenges. This is why my primary commitment is to offer an individualized therapeutic approach that caters to your distinct needs and aspirations. I incorporate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion focused therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness based interventions with an emphasis on self-compassion practices.
Every step of our journey together will be based on collaboration and trust. We’ll work as a team to determine your treatment goals, blending the science of psychology with the art of individualized care.

Family Therapy and Parent Training
I offer family therapy to parents of children of all ages, including parent training and consultation, with a focus on improving your relationship with your child. As a behavioral therapist I will teach you concrete skills to help you shape your child’s behavior and improve discipline strategies. Additionally, I help parents learn how to use validation in their communication to nurture a trusting relationship and foster positive communication with your child. Whether you have a toddler or a teenager I can teach you skills to make the home a less stressful environment. You will learn to walk a middle path with your child and help them to trust themselves and their own emotions.
Group Therapy
I am not currently offering group therapy at this time, but I plan to start a group focused on perinatal mental health in the first half of 2024.
