I offer both in-person therapy and video therapy. I treat adults with a focus on managing anxiety, adjusting to life stressors, living with chronic illness, coping with cancer, and treating insomnia.
I realize that no two people are the same and as such, I tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression or any other issue, I will help you recognize underlying problems, fully realize your strengths, and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things in a different, healthier way. I work with each client to develop a treatment plan that is designed to meet your unique needs. I offer treatment that is empirically based and grounded in science. Throughout our work together, we will continually monitor change to ensure that therapy stays useful and effective over time; we will adapt the treatment plan as needed.
In most therapy sessions, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT. CBT and ACT are both evidence-based, time limited, and goal-oriented types of therapy. In research, they have been shown to be effective for a wide range of problems including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, chronic pain, weight loss, and insomnia. Many studies have shown that engaging in CBT and ACT can lead to significant improvements in functioning and quality of life. They have been shown to be as effective, or more effective, than many other forms of psychotherapy.
I take a collaborative approach with my clients and will work with you to identify your goals and set a treatment plan. In addition to CBT and ACT, I often incorporate other strategies including problem-solving techniques, motivational interviewing to enhance your motivation to change, and mindfulness which can be particularly helpful for managing stressful situation.
