Evidence-Based Practice
Effective therapy adapts science-backed techniques to your unique style of relating. I integrate skills rooted in brain and behavioral science, while also recognizing and affirming my client’s unique cultural identities, values, and lived experiences.
I offer Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and other evidence-based therapies.
Individual Therapy
Everyone can feel stuck at times, but if difficulties are holding you back from living life the way you want to, it can be beneficial to get professional support.
We’ll work together to figure our a path forward based on your personalized goals, preferences, and values.
Couples and Premarital Therapy
Couples sessions can be effective when the relationship is struggling, but they are also useful when considering or experiencing transitions, or as a “tune up,” to keep things running smoothly.
My therapeutic approach integrates research-supported couples treatments, including Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Gottman Method.
Ready to get started? Let’s make this next part simple.
Schedule a consultation.
We’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, and I’ll share about my approach and how I can help. I’ll answer your questions and we decide if I’m the right therapist for you.
Dive into therapy tailored for you.
Every person is unique and I believe the journey through therapy should reflect that. We’ll start the process of unfolding your story, learning coping skills, and holding space for your pain. This is an honest, judgement-free zone. You can laugh, you can cry, but the most important thing is that you’ll have the space to do whatever you need.
Experience growth and change.
The work can be hard, but it will be worth it. I use empirically-backed strategies to help you create the changes you want to see in your life and in your relationships. You deserve to feel healthy, happy, and whole — and effective therapy can help you get there.
“The ultimate goal of therapy…it’s too hard a question. The words come to me like tranquility, like fulfillment, like realizing your potential.”
