Approach
to Psychotherapy

I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways.  Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture.  Psychotherapy can help when stress, trauma, life transitions, or difficult relationships call for new ways of coping and navigating our lives.   

My approach integrates evidence-based practices shown to be effective including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and an Interpersonal Process approach, to provide highly individualized psychotherapy services to my clients. Together, we will work to define your treatment goals and to create new patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself, others, and the world around you. This collaborative process will help you feel more connected to your values and to engage more fully in your life.
