My Approach: Therapeutic Modalities and Focus
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and neither are you.
I offer a personalized, practical approach for individuals who often look like they have it all together, yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck underneath. You may be the one others rely on — but that doesn’t mean you should carry the weight alone.
I bring a warm, honest, and collaborative presence to our work. Therapy should feel real, not rigid. So, that means you don’t need to show up as anything other than yourself. Together, we’ll uncover what’s blocking your peace, make sense of your patterns, and build tools that fit your life — not just in theory, but in practice.
The Modalities I Use — and Why They Matter
I don’t believe in a one-method-fits-all model. Instead, I draw from several evidence-based modalities and tailor them to your unique needs. These approaches aren’t just theoretical — they offer real, applicable strategies to help you move forward.
- Solution-Focused Therapy: This is ideal when you’re craving momentum. We identify what’s already working, focus on your strengths, and create small, achievable goals. Eventually, these steps lead to bigger shifts. So, you won’t just talk — you’ll walk away with tools and direction.
- Client-Centered Therapy: You set the pace, and I follow with curiosity and care. This approach prioritizes your voice, your timing, and your insight. While I bring clinical expertise, you bring lived experience — and both matter. The process becomes less about “doing therapy” and more about reconnecting with yourself.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you notice and challenge the patterns of thought that shape how you feel and act. Many clients use this modality to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful beliefs, and increase confidence in decision-making. It’s concrete, empowering, and designed to create real-time changes.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is especially useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage. We focus on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. In short, you’ll learn how to stay grounded — even when life doesn’t cooperate.
- Narrative Therapy: Your story shapes how you see yourself — and how others see you. Through narrative work, we explore the roles you’ve internalized and the language you use about yourself. Together, we examine what parts of your story you want to keep, rewrite, or let go of entirely.
- Relational Work: Relationships can be our greatest sources of connection — and our biggest triggers. Whether you’re struggling with a partner, family member, or colleague, we’ll explore your attachment style, boundaries, and patterns of communication. The goal is more clarity, not more conflict.
What You Can Expect
I bring a steady, engaged presence to every session. You’ll get a space that feels safe, but not stagnant — where we can move at your pace while still working toward change. We won’t just manage symptoms or talk in circles. Instead, we’ll build insight, practice new tools, and create change that shows up in your real life — not just in session.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with adults who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel exhausted on the inside. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, major life shifts, or persistent self-doubt. Others are stuck in patterns of people-pleasing or perfectionism that leave them feeling unseen or unfulfilled. I also support clients struggling with relationship dynamics — whether in intimate, family, or workplace settings. Together, we’ll create more clarity, more ease, and more connection.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of you that already know how to heal.
