My desire is to create an authentic, safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with you. My approach is personalized based on your specific issues and needs.
I most often incorporate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work and Buddhist mindfulness practices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches us to challenge negative thinking and has been shown in study after study to be extremely effective in reducing and eliminating anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps us develop a more mindful approach to our problems while improving our ability to regulate emotions, tolerate distress and have effective interpersonal relationships.
Psychodynamic work is often helpful for connecting our current thinking and behavior to trauma and challenges from the past.
Meditation and mindfulness work are often helpful in finding a sense of calm and peace. These practices can help us improve our concentration, find self compassion and develop non-judgmental attitudes.
Whatever the challenges, the strengths and solutions that come naturally from you will always be important in our work.
While I enjoy helping clients with any number of issues, I have special interest helping clients resolve feelings of anxiety and panic.
