Approach

I believe in the unique experience and perspective of each person;  that even in the presence of pain and confusion there is wisdom and the potential for healing and growth. In my experience, the best psychotherapy supports the client's strengths as they address difficulties and discover paths to create new value and richness in their life. 

My approach strives to honor the values and voice of each client. When it suits the client's goals, my role in the clinical process may be to integrate components of evidence-based or meaning-focused models into the work. These approaches include: 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and related concerns

• Compassion-Focused Therapy

• Humanistic, Existential,and Relational Psychotherapies

• Narrative Therapy

• Written Exposure Therapy and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD
