My Methods & Style
Like most therapists, I do not use one single method with every client. I draw from evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT-informed skills, CBT-I, and other therapy tools based on your needs, goals, personality, and what is actually helpful for you. Therapy is more than a set of techniques, though. The relationship matters. My style is warm, calm, practical, and collaborative. I actively work with clients to better understand what is happening, build useful coping tools, reduce shame, and create meaningful change, often with a little humor and the occasional cheesy metaphor along the way.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward what matters most. Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and helping you move toward your values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I, is an evidence-based treatment for chronic sleep problems. It goes beyond basic sleep hygiene by addressing the behaviors, thought patterns, and nervous system responses that can keep insomnia going.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, is a structured therapy approach that uses guided eye movements and imagery to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, emotions, or sensations. ART can be especially helpful when something feels “stuck” and continues to create emotional or physical distress.
Neurodivergent-Informed Care
Neurodivergent-informed therapy recognizes that people think, process, feel, focus, communicate, and regulate in different ways. I aim to provide care that is respectful, flexible, and practical, rather than forcing every client into the same expectations or strategies.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical responses. CBT can help you identify unhelpful patterns, develop more balanced ways of thinking, and make practical changes that support emotional health.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness involves learning how to notice your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and experiences with more awareness and less judgment. In therapy, mindfulness can help you feel more grounded, respond instead of react, and create more space between you and overwhelming thoughts or emotions.​
Solution Focused Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, or SFBT, focuses on strengths, goals, and small steps toward meaningful change. Rather than spending all of therapy analyzing the problem, SFBT helps clarify what is already working, what you want to be different, and what realistic next steps can move you forward.
