Treatment Methods
Online DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a unique therapy model that emphasizes using very specific skills to help people learn and use new strategies to develop a life that feels worth living.
​
DBT online (and traditional) has been extensively researched. Studies have consistently shown that online DBT is highly effective in treating a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, emotional management difficulties, substance use, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders.
Online CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective and well-researched form of treatment.
CBT is used to treat a wide variety of issues and concerns that we face as humans (worry thoughts, sleep difficulties, sadness, hopelessness, traumatic reactions, panic attacks, social avoidance, substance use....the list is long).
CBT involves looking at the links between our thoughts, our emotions, and our behaviors and identifying ways to modify the links when they are not help
Gottman Method
Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) is based in over 40 years of research into what makes relationships work and what destroys them.
It has a well-documented success rate. The techniques are extremely transferable and work with all relationships (family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc.).
​
The goals of GMCT are to: decrease harmful communication styles, improve the effectiveness of your communication (even when fighting), increase respect & affection between each other, and create a heightened sense of intimacy.
Which method is right for me?
That depends on what you need! Usually we will be able to figure that out together during the first appointment where I complete a comprehensive assessment of you, your life so far, and your struggles and desires. At that point, we will also clarify your goals for yourself.
We will then identify the specific strategies and approaches that will get you where you want to be. Often, I combine techniques and theories from each of the strategies mentioned above.
Because I have been counseling folks since 2008 (and I spent time developing college students, young professionals, and adolescents for an additional 10 years prior to that), I have a keen ability to zoom in on underlying core issues and identify effective strategies to address them.
I truly value the trust you place in me to help you with these difficult life tasks. I aim to offer you help, hope, and specific strategies to manage your overwhelming emotions, improving your relationships, navigating difficult life transitions and creating the life you want to be living in.
