Services

I offer individual and couples teletherapy to adults located in California.

Individual Therapy

I approach therapy from a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) framework. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches skills to reduce distress and promote effective problem solving. I integrate a variety of evidence-based interventions, including acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy, to customize treatment to each client.

A typical course of individual therapy begins with a 60-minute intake evaluation followed by weekly 50-minute sessions. We will work together to determine a therapy cadence and estimated treatment duration that fits your needs and goals.

Couples Therapy

I use an Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) framework in my work with couples. IBCT helps couples improve communication and reduce conflict. It emphasizes the importance of balancing acceptance and change within relationships to foster increased closeness & satisfaction and resolve problems.

Couples therapy begins with an assessment phase that includes both joint and individual appointments with members of the couple to develop a shared understanding of the couple’s concerns and goals. After completing the assessment, we begin the active treatment phase, which includes weekly 55-minute joint sessions.

My approach

I take an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy. I support my clients in moving towards more meaningful and fulfilling lives by helping them to clarify their values, leverage their strengths, increase understanding of factors that contribute to and maintain their distress, build skills to change what they can control, and cultivate acceptance of what they cannot control.

I strive to create an inviting and nonjudgmental space where my clients can explore longstanding patterns, approach uncomfortable feelings, build flexible thinking, and try new behaviors in service of reaching their goals and living a values-aligned life.
