My Approach
A warm, supportive, therapeutic relationship is the foundation for development and growth. I utilize a combination of empathic listening, humor, and playfulness to connect with clients. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and tailored to the developmental stage, presenting symptoms and goals of the individual.
Working from a primarily cognitive-behavioral (CBT) orientation, I draw from my experience and training in a variety of evidence-based interventions, including:
​
-
Collaborative Problem Solving
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (DNA-V for youth)
-
Social Thinking
-
Zones of Regulation
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
-
Exposure and Response Prevention
-
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)
