My Treatment Modalities
Therapeutic Approaches That Support You Through Every Season
No two people experience life's challenges in exactly the same way, which is why I believe therapy should never be one size fits all. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet your unique needs, goals, and experiences. Whether you're navigating postpartum transitions, motherhood, anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to create a treatment plan that feels supportive, effective, and personalized.
Below are some of the evidence-based approaches I use to help clients build insight, develop practical coping skills, foster healing, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll find the strategies that best support you in this season of life.
My Favorite Treatment Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes, unhelpful thought patterns can keep us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or discouraged. CBT helps identify these patterns, challenge beliefs that may be holding you back, and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges.
Through CBT, you'll gain practical tools to better manage emotions, cope with stress, improve self-awareness, and create meaningful changes that support your overall well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Rather than focusing on the content of obsessive thoughts, I-CBT helps clients understand how doubt is created and maintained in the first place. Often, OCD pulls people away from trusting their direct experiences and into imagined possibilities, "what if" scenarios, and endless uncertainty.
Through I-CBT, you'll learn to recognize the reasoning process that fuels obsessive doubt, reconnect with your senses and lived experience, and build confidence in your ability to trust yourself. The goal isn't to eliminate uncertainty altogether, but to help you step out of OCD's cycle of doubt and respond to life with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom.
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed skills to help clients navigate intense emotions, improve relationships, and respond more effectively to life's challenges. DBT emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change, so learning to acknowledge difficult experiences while also building skills to create meaningful growth.
Drawing from core DBT principles, I help clients develop practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be especially helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with setting boundaries, or find themselves caught in patterns of reacting rather than responding. My goal is to help you build confidence in managing life's ups and downs with greater resilience and self-compassion
Dialectal Behavior Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based approach specifically designed to help children and adolescents process and heal from traumatic experiences. Trauma can affect how young people think, feel, behave, and view themselves and the world around them. TF-CBT provides a structured, supportive framework to help them make sense of their experiences while developing healthy coping skills.
Through TF-CBT, children and teens learn to identify and manage difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts related to trauma, and build a greater sense of safety and resilience. When appropriate, caregivers are included in the therapeutic process to strengthen support, improve communication, and help foster healing both inside and outside of therapy.
