I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and personalized to you; not cold, clinical, or one-size-fits-all. Therapy isn't about finding the “best” modality. It's about finding the best approach for you.
Every person walks into therapy with a different history, personality, nervous system, and set of goals. That means the same intervention won't work equally as well for everyone. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I take an intentionally integrative approach; drawing from evidenced-based treatments in a thoughtful, purposeful way to create therapy that’s personalized, flexible, and grounded in research.
Depending on your goals, our work may include changing unhelpful thought patterns, learning practical coping skills, building psychological flexibility, processing difficult experiences, strengthening self-compassion, understanding different “parts” of yourself, or creating meaningful behavioral change. Every intervention has a purpose; and every recommendation is based on where you are in your journey.
My Integrative Framework
My foundation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and we likely won’t stay just within this one framework.
I thoughtfully integrate concepts and interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, bibliotherapy, and parts work when they support your goals.
Rather than following a rigid formula, I continually assess what is most likely to help you make meaningful progress while staying grounded in evidenced-based care.
Why I Take an Integrative Approach
Evidence-based therapy doesn't have to mean one-size-fits-all. The most effective therapy is both scientifically grounded and thoughtfully personalized.
Early in my career, I naturally leaned on the approaches I knew best. Sometimes they worked beautifully. Other times, despite everyone's best efforts, they simply weren't what that particular client needed.
Those experiences taught me something important: no single therapy model has a monopoly on healing.
As I've continued to grow as a clinician, I've pursued training across multiple evidenced-based approaches because each offers something valuable. One client may benefit most from identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns. Another may need to build psychological flexibility, develop practical coping skills, process painful experiences, or better understand the different parts of themselves. Sometimes a client would benefit from all of the above. In my experience, meaningful progress comes from thoughtfully integrating elements of several approaches rather than relying on just one.
That doesn't mean therapy is improvised. Every intervention I use is chosen with intention and grounded in research. My goal isn't to fit you into my preferred therapeutic model; it's to understand what will best support you.
At the end of the day, I care far more about finding the approach that helps you move forward than about limiting your work to a single school of thought.
Ready to Get Started?
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and you don’t have to navigate things alone. I offer a free consultation so we can discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and whether we’d be a good fit to work together.
If you're navigating anxiety, intrusive thought patterns, perfectionism, or relationship dynamics that feel repetitive or overwhelming, I'd love to connect with you.
