Individual Therapy
Tailored to Your Needs, Strengths, and Goals
I believe that therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. As a generalist, I work with a wide range of concerns and tailor my approach to fit the unique needs, goals, and strengths of each client.
Whether you’re navigating:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Life transitions
- Relationship challenges
- Trauma
We’ll work together to find a path that feels right for you.
Clinical Foundations
- Extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—evidence-based approaches offering practical tools for change.
- EXRP-certified for the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
- Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support trauma recovery.
Therapy Goals
No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to:
- Create a supportive, collaborative space.
- Help you gain insight and develop new skills.
- Guide you toward a more grounded, empowered version of yourself.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s built on the idea that unhelpful thought patterns can influence how we feel and act—and that by identifying and changing these patterns, we can feel better and make more empowered choices.
- In CBT, we work together to:
- Identify negative or distorted thinking patterns
- Develop healthier, more balanced ways of thinking
- Practice new coping strategies and problem-solving skills
- Create behavioral changes that support your goals
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and highly effective for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and more. Many clients appreciate how practical and collaborative it is.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. Originally developed to support people with intense emotions or difficulty with emotional regulation, DBT has since been adapted to help with a wide range of challenges.
- DBT helps you:
- Better manage overwhelming emotions
- Improve relationships through healthier communication
- Build distress tolerance for tough situations
- Cultivate mindfulness and presence in daily life
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, mood swings, relationship stress, or impulsive behaviors, DBT can provide skills that help you feel more grounded, balanced, and in control.
Exposure and Response Prevention (EXRP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (EXRP or ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It helps people face the fears and intrusive thoughts that drive OCD, while learning to resist the compulsions or rituals that may temporarily reduce anxiety but ultimately reinforce the cycle.
- In EXRP, we work together to:
- Understand the nature of OCD and how it functions
- Identify the specific obsessions and compulsions you’re experiencing
- Build a personalized hierarchy of feared situations
- Practice gradual, supported exposure to these triggers
- Learn to tolerate discomfort without engaging in compulsions
The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to reduce its power over your life—and to build confidence that you can handle uncertainty, distress, and the intrusive thoughts that come with OCD.
I am certified in EXRP through the CBI Center for Education, an organization dedicated to training clinicians in evidence-based approaches to anxiety and OCD treatment. Certification involved in-depth coursework, hands-on training, and clinical supervision to ensure a strong foundation in applying EXRP effectively and ethically. This means you can feel confident that you’re receiving care that is both compassionate and grounded in the latest research.
If you’re struggling with OCD, know that it is treatable—and that recovery is possible with the right support.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a trauma-informed therapy approach designed to help people process and heal from distressing experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds—to help the brain reprocess memories that have become “stuck” due to trauma or overwhelming stress.
- EMDR can help with:
- Traumatic or disturbing memories
- Anxiety, phobias, and panic
- Negative self-beliefs
- Grief and loss
Unlike talk therapy alone, EMDR allows you to access and resolve trauma on a deeper level, often without needing to recount every detail of the experience. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use this approach when it aligns with your goals and readiness for this kind of work.
