Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches
Trauma & PTSD Recovery – EMDRIA-Approved
If you’ve experienced childhood trauma, relationship abuse, or sexual assault, you may struggle with flashbacks, emotional numbness, and hypervigilance. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you process trauma and regain a sense of safety.
💠 Approaches Used: EMDR, DBT, CBT
🎯 Goals: Reduce emotional distress, heal from past trauma, and rebuild a sense of control over your life.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) & Self-Harm
If you struggle with emotional highs and lows, impulsivity, or intense fears of abandonment, I use DBT skills training to help you develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal skills.
💠 Approaches Used: DBT, CBT
🎯 Goals: Reduce impulsivity, increase emotional stability, and build stronger relationships.
Eating Disorders & Emotional Eating – DBT & CBT Certified
If food feels out of control, you struggle with binge eating, restricting, or purging, I provide CBT and DBT-based strategies to help you develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.
💠 Approaches Used: CBT, DBT
🎯 Goals: Reduce food-related distress, improve emotional regulation, and heal your relationship with eating.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – CBT Approach
If you experience intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or perfectionism that interfere with daily life, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help challenge these thought patterns and reduce compulsive urges. While I do not provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I can offer referrals to specialists if needed.
💠 Approaches Used: CBT
🎯 Goals: Reduce intrusive thoughts, challenge compulsive behaviors, and improve daily functioning.
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Does anxiety keep you up at night, cause racing thoughts, or make social interactions stressful? I use CBT and DBT skills to help you challenge anxious thoughts, develop coping mechanisms, and regain confidence in your daily life.
💠 Approaches Used: CBT, DBT
🎯 Goals: Reduce anxious thoughts, build distress tolerance, and improve daily functioning.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Depression can leave you feeling exhausted, hopeless, and unmotivated. My therapy focuses on CBT and DBT strategies to help you regain energy, build self-compassion, and re-engage in life.
💠 Approaches Used: CBT, DBT
🎯 Goals: Improve mood, increase motivation, and create lasting emotional resilience.
Additional Areas of Focus

Living with chronic pain or health conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, or long-term injuries can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and isolating. My therapy focuses on helping you adjust, cope, and reclaim your life—even when pain or physical limitations create unexpected challenges.
💠 Approaches Used: CBT, DBT, and supportive therapy
🎯 Goals: Develop coping strategies, improve emotional resilience, adjust to physical changes, and find ways to move forward with a fulfilling life.

Navigating career changes, relationship stress, or college transitions can feel overwhelming. I help clients find clarity, manage uncertainty, and build self-confidence.
