I draw from a range of evidence-based and integrative frameworks, tailoring the approach to what each client actually needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to build skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) supports clients in relating differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while staying grounded in their values. For clients whose struggles are rooted in the nervous system, I incorporate Polyvagal Theory to help make sense of why the body reacts the way it does — and how to build a felt sense of safety. I use parts work to help clients understand and integrate the different, sometimes conflicting, aspects of themselves — especially useful for those who feel pulled between what they know and what they feel. And for clients struggling with obsessive-compulsive patterns or anxiety-driven avoidance, I use ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), a gold-standard approach for breaking cycles of compulsion and reassurance-seeking.
Rather than sticking rigidly to one modality, I integrate these approaches based on what's actually happening for you — cognitively, emotionally, and physiologically — so the work meets you where you are.
