it's evidence-based, client-centered and short-term- I use techniques supported by research such as CBT, ACT, ERP and DBT Skills, tailor my approach to YOU and your situation, and strive to get you to a place where you no longer need me.
help you find new ways to relate to the world and to enable you to embrace your experiences more fully and bravely. We will explore the experiences that have made you who you are, both the good and the difficult, and work toward who you want to be.
