I help my clients redefine their relationship to anxiety by providing a space for them to explore root causes, teaching new coping skills to regulate anxiety when it feels overwhelming, and introducing ways to reframe the experience of anxiety in a way that feels empowering. This requires a combination of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and somatic approaches.

Exploring attachment and relationships in therapy is essential for building self esteem, healthy relationships and boundaries, and a greater sense of self understanding. In sessions, I help my clients not only understand their attachment style but process the experiences and relationships that have helped shape it. Together we then take active steps to help them form secure attachments in current and new relationships.

When a client starts therapy to address panic, we use a structured approach to learn distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills, reframe negative thought patterns that trigger panic, to utilize exposure exercises to extinguish panic symptoms, and create a self care plan to help mitigate stressors.

I incorporate CBT skills into my work with clients to help them explore thought patterns, learn cognitive strategies for coping, and redefine core beliefs.

I incorporate DBT skills into my work with clients to help them learn emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.

I utilize a psychodynamic approach in therapy to help my clients reflect on their lives, learn new insights, strengthen their relationship to themselves, and better understand their emotions.
