My approach to therapy integrates evidence-based practices grounded in the psychological literature. I have experience working with adolescents and adults to reduce or eliminate: anxiety, stress, and anger issues; depressive and bipolar mood symptom management; relationship, work, and school issues; problems with rumination and repetitive behaviors, and substance use problems. The structure of sessions varies based on a client's needs and can focus on: processing life events, understanding past and current issues, moving through difficult emotions, or learning skills for sustained behavior change and improved emotional processing.
I have specialized training in a variety of evidence-based psychological interventions. I have expertise in cognitive-behavioral, acceptance and commitment, dialectical behavior, and motivational enhancement therapies. In addition to talk therapy, I use relaxation, mindfulness, and grounding strategies to enhance mind-body communication.
First, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to start therapy and patience to find a therapist who can provide helpful guidance. I have over 20 years of clinical experience focused on helping people overcome psychological stressors at the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, class, trauma, and interpersonal connection.
