I utilize evidence-based practices, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP).
You’re trying to overcome the effects of trauma or you’re having difficulty coping with a recent life transition, such as adjusting to college, a new career, relationship issues, or a new diagnosis. You feel like you have tried everything to manage your anxiety or depression, but you’re just feeling stuck. Making long-lasting change can be difficult, but therapy can help you to discover new ways of coping. Together, we will take steps to meet your goals and bring awareness to patterns of thoughts and behaviors that have developed over time.
