My Approach

My approach draws upon several models, one model is TEAM-CBT, an advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. TEAM-CBT is a framework for conducting evidence-based therapy that uses measurement to track progress and is proven to be more effective than traditional therapy. I help individuals face challenges with anxiety, depression, fears, habits/addictions, phobias, personal struggles, low self-esteem, school concerns, and more. We will work together towards identifying and addressing the root cause of your concerns, create a plan that reflects your goals and work towards accomplishing them.

My commitment to ongoing professional development and staying up to date with the latest research and therapeutic techniques is a priority. I use routine outcome measurement to monitor progress and help determine when you are ready to cease therapy. Successful therapy results when an individual demonstrates a sense of autonomy and self-efficacy in applying learned skills, and has a reduction in negative moods, and an improvement of overall well-being.
