My Approaches to Therapy

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
A structured, time-limited therapy aimed at helping individuals enhance their relationships and communication skills. It is based on the idea that our relationships significantly impact our feelings, and by concentrating on these connections, we can improve our overall well-being.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
A structured treatment designed to help individuals manage emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. DBT was initially aimed at treating borderline personality disorder but has since been applied to a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. The four primary skills areas are: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Standard DBT has two main components: individual therapy and skills training classes. However, DBT skills can also be integrated into other therapy approaches.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT)
An adaptation of traditional DBT, specifically designed for individuals with disorders characterized by over-control, such as obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and anorexia nervosa. It focuses on enhancing emotional openness, flexibility, and social connectedness. Standard treatment includes individual therapy and a skills group.

Cognitive Processing Therapy
A structured, time-limited therapy focused on helping individuals worth through trauma by addressing and reframing unhelpful thoughts related to their experiences. It is based on the idea that how we think about traumatic events influences how we feel and act in daily life, and by working on these thoughts, we can reduce distress and improve quality of life.

Services Provided

Initial Phone Consultation

The 15-minute phone consultation is designed to assess how well my services align with your needs. There is no charge for this call. During our conversation, we will explore your concerns, discuss how my services might be a match, and decide together if you would like to schedule an intake appointment. If for whatever reason it is determined that your concerns can be better met elsewhere, I will try to provide other referral resources in the local area.

Initial Intake

The intake appointment is your first session and usually lasts about an hour and a half. Before we meet, you’ll complete some paperwork electronically. During the appointment, I will ask in detail about your concerns, your history, and other relevant aspects of your life in relation to your current issues and mental health goals. At the end of our discussion, we will collaboratively decide on the next steps.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions generally last 50 minutes. I take a personalized approach to meet each client’s unique needs, supporting their journey toward personal growth and meaningful change.
