My Approach
01.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
"You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between our core beliefs and our thought processes, and how our thoughts interact with our emotional state and the way we behave. CBT works to help clients rewire harmful or unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that interfere with our well-being. CBT is highly effective for treating a wide variety of mental health issues.

Somatics & Mindfulness
"We must approach trauma with a sense of curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment or avoidance." - Peter Levine
Somatic therapy is an approach that focuses on the mind-body connection. Through the marriage of mindfulness, a practice of finding presence without judgement, and somatic techniques we have the power to foster the mind-body connection and release stress, tension, and reactivity associated with trauma, anxiety, and depression.
03.
Nervous System Attunement
"You might not remember it but your nervous system does"
- Victoria Erickson
Nervous system attunement and regulation is key to reducing chronic mental health symptoms including trauma responses and anxiety and depressive symptoms. Through this lens you will learn how to better understand your physiological reactions to triggers and stressors, and tune in to your nervous system to better understand your needs and develop life-changing emotional regulation skills.
04.
Narrative
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" -Maya Angelou
Narrative Therapy is an approach that allows clients to tell their story in a safe and empowered manner. Through narrative you take the driver's seat of your own life story-- establishing a strong sense of self, rewriting harmful narratives, and placing traumatic memories in their timeline-- reducing the impact of post-traumatic stress symptoms.
