Specialized Treatment Approaches
I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques—tools that have been shown to work, but more importantly, are adapted to fit your unique needs, goals, and life experience. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and together we’ll find what works best for you.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
I believe there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all path to healing—your journey is as unique as you are. That’s why your Personalized Treatment Plans begin with a comprehensive needs assessment, exploring your history, strengths, and life circumstances to tailor every step of care. From there, we draw on an adaptive therapeutic toolkit—ranging from CBT to creative modalities—to flex around your evolving goals and learning style. Our practice is proudly neurodivergent‑affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive, ensuring a safe, validating environment where your identity is honored and integrated into every aspect of treatment. By co‑creating this bespoke roadmap, we'll empower you to move forward with clarity, purpose, and authentic support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a collaborative, goal‑oriented approach that helps you uncover and shift the unhelpful thoughts and beliefs fueling emotional distress. Together with me, you’ll learn to spot automatic negative thoughts—such as “I’m not good enough” or “Something bad will happen”—and challenge them with balanced, evidence‑based alternatives. Through structured exercises and real‑world homework assignments, you’ll build practical skills in cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and problem‑solving. This empowers you to break free from patterns of avoidance and rumination, replacing them with healthier habits and a more compassionate inner dialogue. Over time, CBT fosters lasting improvements in mood, confidence, and your ability to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.
Trauma Counseling
Trauma Counseling provides a compassionate space to safely explore and heal from the impact of overwhelming experiences. Grounded in trust and collaboration, we’ll use evidence‑informed interventions—like somatic tracking, narrative reconstruction, and resource building—to help you regain a sense of safety and control. By honoring your pace and resilience, we work to integrate fragmented memories, soothe nervous system dysregulation, and rebuild a coherent sense of self. The result is a deeper capacity for connection, empowerment, and the freedom to move forward beyond past wounds.
Depression Management
My Depression Management approach offers a compassionate blend of evidence-based techniques designed to lift low mood and restore emotional balance. Through mood mapping, you’ll identify patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that deepen depressive episodes. We’ll employ behavioral activation—scheduling meaningful activities to counteract withdrawal—and cognitive restructuring to challenge negative thought cycles in real time. Complemented by self-compassion exercises and mindfulness practices grounded in acceptance, this approach equips you with tools to sustain hope and resilience day by day.
Anxiety & Stress Management
My Anxiety & Stress Management approach offers a gentle yet powerful blend of evidence‑based techniques designed to help you recognize and soothe the body’s stress response before it escalates. Through guided practices in trigger identification, you’ll learn to map out the thoughts, situations, and physical sensations that precede heightened anxiety. We’ll introduce coping skill building—such as breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, and cognitive restructuring—to equip you with tools you can deploy in the moment. Complemented by mindfulness techniques grounded in acceptance and self‑compassion, this approach is aimed at strengthening your resilience so you can face challenges with greater calm and confidence.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy offers a supportive framework to help you fully experience your thoughts and feelings without judgment, while moving toward a life guided by your deepest values. Grounded in psychological flexibility, we’ll use evidence‑informed techniques—such as cognitive defusion exercises, values clarification, and committed action planning—to help you disentangle from unhelpful inner narratives and reconnect with what truly matters. Through mindfulness practices and experiential exercises, you’ll learn to make space for difficult emotions, reduce avoidance patterns, and build momentum toward meaningful goals. The result is a richer sense of purpose, greater resilience in the face of life’s challenges, and an empowered journey aligned with your authentic self.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems creates a caring environment where you can safely meet and understand the many “parts” that make up your inner world. Guided by your core Self—marked by compassion, curiosity, and calm—you’ll gently unblend from protective or wounded parts to learn their positive intentions and unmet needs. Through structured mapping, dialogue, and somatic attunement, we help each part release extreme roles, restore balance, and reconnect under your Self’s wise leadership. As these once-isolated parts begin to harmonize, you’ll experience greater internal cohesion, emotional freedom, and a more integrated sense of who you are.

By co‑creating this bespoke roadmap, we'll empower you to move forward with clarity, purpose, and authentic support.
