What We Offer
Navigating mental health can be complex and can manifest in multiple ways simultaneously. Therefore, my focus is to provide strengths-based, client-centered care with a therapeutic experience tailored to your specific goals. Once goals are set, we explore strategies for trigger recognition, emotional identity and use of coping tools in real time. From there, we get curious about the causes and unpack them in affirming space.

Modalities Used
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence based intervention that teaches skills in emotional recognition and thought processing. In real time, it allows clients to challenge negative thought processes in real time which can lead to enhanced functionality within personal, social and work spaces.
This modality is provided in an individual therapy setting.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is an evidence based intervention the focuses on emotional dysregulation, and provides mindfulness based strategies to challenge defeatist misconceptions of the self. This allows the client to enhance their ability to self-regulate their emotions in real time by identifying physical responses to stimuli and responding appropriately.
This modality is provided in an individual therapy setting.
Mindfulness Based Therapy
Mindfulness is an evidence-based intervention that gives clients the skills to be fully present in the here-and-now when faced with overwhelming emotional and interpersonal triggers. It utilizes meditation, breath work, and somatic components to facilitate holistic awareness.
This modality is provided in an individual therapy setting.
Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR)
STAIR is an evidence-based intervention the focuses on stimuli that exacerbate trauma related symptoms. It combines psychoeducation with narrative therapy that explores the effects of triggers on personal and social responsibilities. The goal is to enhance functioning before taking a deep dive into trauma processing.
This modality is provided in an individual and group therapy setting.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is an intervention that helps the client identify a behavior that may be destructive within their life and set goals to change the behavior. This allows the client to be able to enhance their relationship with themselves and with others by removing the barrier to a healthy relationship.
This modality is provided in an individual therapy setting .
