​​I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate environment for all of my clients. My primary framework is humanistic, which focuses on fostering personal growth, increasing awareness of choice and empowering individuals.

​I frequently utilize a solution-focused approach to therapy by helping set goals, addressing unhealthy behaviors, and helping you become "unstuck." EMDR therapy is another modality I practice, which significantly helps process traumatic or maladaptive experiences.  I pull from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to assist in healthy communication skills. You may also choose to utilize art interventions and role-playing to increase insight and encourage spontaneity and flexibility.

When treating OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I specifically use ERP (Exposure Response Prevention). ERP is the gold standard of care for treating OCD.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is important. Therapy is ever-changing and adaptive. I encourage open and authentic communication about your experience and believe this will help create the best environment for you.
