When I recommend additional supports
Psychiatric evaluation for medication consideration when symptoms are severe or when combined treatment may be helpful.
Referral to specialized trauma services when complex trauma requires phased, trauma-specific interventions beyond the scope of skills work.
Collaboration with medical providers, couples therapists, or family therapists
CBT and DBT Skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you spot a those negative thoughts that sabotage your mood and behavior. By practicing new ways of thinking and reacting, you’ll build healthier mental habits to handle stress, anxiety, and other everyday bumps in the road—making life less stressful and a lot more manageable.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical skills for coping with stress. It blends mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—all wrapped up in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Humanistic and Person- Centered therapy
Focus is in on the individual's capacity for growth, self-awareness, and self-directed change. Rooted in the belief that people are fundamentally oriented toward health and wholeness, these approaches emphasize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine, nonjudgmental presence from the therapist.
Somatic and Mindfulness Skills
Somatic therapy and mindfulness skills help you reconnect mind and body to reduce stress, regulate emotions, and respond to triggers with more awareness and choice. Somatic approaches focus on bodily sensations—breath, muscle tension, posture, and movement—to access and release stored stress. Mindfulness trains nonjudgmental attention to the present moment, teaching you to notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations without being swept away by them.
