-
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you, rather than following one specific therapy model. I draw from several evidence-based approaches depending on what you need, including:
CBT, ACT, and DBT: Practical strategies for working with anxiety, stress, overthinking, emotional regulation, and unhelpful thought patterns.
Relational and attachment-based approaches: Exploring relationship patterns, people-pleasing, communication, boundaries, and how past experiences can shape the way you relate to yourself and others.
I also incorporate insight-oriented work, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies when they are helpful. The goal isn't to fit you into a particular model, but to use approaches that make sense for you and your goals.

Getting started with online therapy is straightforward. You can reach out through the website contact form or by email to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. During the consultation, we can talk about what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and decide whether we'd be a good fit to work together.
If you'd prefer to skip the consultation, you can schedule your first therapy session directly. I'll send you the necessary electronic intake paperwork beforehand so everything is ready for your first appointment.
