I provide individual therapy via telehealth, and I try to be as flexible as possible with scheduling for my sessions. I feel that therapy should fit into your life, at times that are convenient for you, so I make sure to offer morning and evening time slots that accommodate busy schedules.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), but I also recognize that for most people, it's hard to tell how these theories might guide your therapy sessions. To hopefully clear up some confusion, I've included summaries of each style of therapy below, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Regardless of the style of therapy, I aim to have every session feel collaborative, comfortable, and open. I hope to work with you to both uncover areas in which you have agency to change your life, and to acknowledge the social and cultural structures that might make that change difficult. In doing so, I hope that we might be able to establish ways of living that help you to feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.

Therapy Types, Explained

(CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is one of the most common and most extensively studied styles of therapy, with a significant number of studies speaking to its efficacy.

It's a structured, goal-oriented style of therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is based on the premise that identifying and challenging negative thought patterns empowers people to manage their emotional responses to triggers and to develop more effective coping strategies. CBT interventions are usually present-focused, involving practical exercises to manage specific symptoms or limiting thoughts.

(ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

As the name implies, ACT involves fostering an ability to accept your current experiences and commit to action. Rather than challenging thoughts that might be limiting, ACT encourages people to develop a nonjudgmental relationship with their thoughts.

Sessions explore methods by which you might acknowledge thoughts, evaluate a course of action that best aligns with your values, and overcome any potential barriers to taking those actions. Along the way, sessions might also involve mindfulness practices that help you to better understand the effects of your thoughts on your experiences, and reflective exercises that develop greater psychological flexibility. Ideally, this allows you to more consistently engage in actions that align with your personal values, even in the presence of discomfort.

(SFT)

Solution-Focused Therapy

SFT is a highly practical approach to therapy that uncovers and evaluates your existing strengths and resources to empower you to create change.

SFT therapy involves defining clear, specific goals, breaking those goals down into manageable components, and using various techniques to help you overcome any barriers to action. The focus of SFT is usually on the present, exploring the strengths and opportunities for growth that might lead to lasting change in your life.
