Evidence-Based Therapy

I use a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support teens and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and emotion dysregulation. My style is integrative, which means I tailor your treatment based on your individual needs—not a one-size-fits-all model.

Below are the core approaches I may draw from in our work together.

​​

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Understanding Root Causes Through Insight-Oriented Therapy​

Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover how early life experiences and unconscious emotional patterns may be influencing your current struggles. We’ll explore how past relationships shape current behaviors, and how those behaviors—once protective—can be replaced with healthier ways of coping and connecting.

​​

Attachment-Based Therapy

Healing Through Secure Therapeutic Relationships​

Attachment theory informs how we form bonds and trust others. In therapy, we create a consistent, supportive relationship that can help repair wounds caused by past emotional ruptures—especially for those who grew up with emotional neglect, instability, or unmet needs.

This foundation allows clients to:

• Build trust

• Experience safety in connection

• Strengthen current relationships

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Changing Thought Patterns That Fuel Emotional Pain​

CBT is a structured, solution-focused therapy that helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and how they influence feelings and behaviors. I guide clients in replacing those thoughts with more balanced perspectives and offer real-life tools to manage distress.

CBT is especially effective for:

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression

• Eating disorders

• Compulsive or avoidance behaviors

I also use exposure techniques to help reduce fear-based avoidance and promote healthy functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Regulating Emotions and Building Life Skills​​

Originally designed to treat emotion dysregulation, DBT is helpful for individuals who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal conflict. It blends cognitive strategies with mindfulness-based practices.

DBT supports clients in:

• Managing distress and anxiety

• Building emotional resilience

• Improving relationship effectiveness

• Staying grounded in the present moment

It is also highly effective for clients navigating eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, or mood instability.

Intersubjective Therapy

Transforming Relationships Through Real-Time Awareness​

Intersubjective work focuses on the dynamics between therapist and client as they unfold in the present moment. This real-time relational experience can reveal ingrained communication patterns and relational blocks.

By becoming aware of how you relate, and how others experience you, you gain the power to:

• Shift unhealthy patterns

• Deepen emotional connections

• Repair past relational wounds
