Specialties & Approaches
I specialize in helping individuals navigate eating disorders and body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I also work with individuals and families to address relationship and family dynamic issues. My goal is to provide personalized care and guidance to help you overcome obstacles and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Evidence-based approaches that I use…
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A practical method for changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By addressing distorted thinking, CBT helps manage anxiety, depression, and other issues, leading to improved emotional well-being and problem-solving skills.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It focuses on balancing acceptance with change and building skills for emotional regulation and resilience.
Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)
Helps families address and resolve issues by focusing on emotional experiences and communication. It aims to strengthen relationships and improve dynamics by fostering emotional understanding and support among family members.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Focuses on embracing thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. By teaching you to accept your inner experiences and commit to actions aligned with your core values, ACT enhances psychological flexibility and overall well-being.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
A technique for managing anxiety, particularly in OCD. It involves gradually exposing you to feared situations while preventing the usual compulsive responses. This approach helps reduce avoidance behaviors, builds tolerance to distress, and strengthens resilience over time.
