We sure do make some dumb mistakes, right? Those mistakes often turn into lashes for our own backs, and before we know it they are the lenses that define our own self-image. I seek to provide compassionate perspective on the things we use to define ourselves, and convey tools that allow us to pierce the veil of criticism.

Depression can be intensely isolating and difficult to escape. That does not mean you are obligated to face these struggles alone. I seek to help identify maladaptive thoughts related to depression alongside building skills to help cope with depressive episodes. Building a foundation of coping skills and creating an envionment where my clients feel comfortable communicating their true thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement is how I strive to help live with the struggles of depression.

In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in managing anxiety. CBT helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety, while DBT provides skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance. Together, these approaches empower clients to gain greater control over their anxiety, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for managing stress and uncertainty.

As a clinician, I employ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than struggle against them. ACT focuses on fostering psychological flexibility by encouraging clients to accept their internal experiences, clarify their values, and commit to actions aligned with those values. This approach helps clients build resilience, navigate difficult emotions, and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

As a clinician, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients manage intense emotions and improve their relationships. DBT blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness, guiding clients through four essential skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By incorporating DBT, I support clients in developing practical strategies for navigating challenges and creating a more balanced, fulfilling life.
