In individual therapy we partner together to identify, clarify, and take active and skillful steps toward meaningful behavior change that aligns with what is important to you. My approach is primarily informed by Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Interpersonal Neurobiology.
For those seeking to evolve their relationships from the current dynamic, I offer a skills-based and attachment-oriented approach, equipping people with tools (e.g., skills for communication, making repairs, social signaling, boundaries) and practice to skillfully effectuate change in the dynamic. I work with people involved in many types of relationships (e.g., combinations of family members, friends, and various romantic relationship structures) to co-create a more effective and shared values-aligned way of interacting, whether this may be an intentional shift toward or away from closeness, or something else altogether.
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) Skills Classes are offered virtually throughout California and Ohio.
Learn MoreFull RO DBT Treatment consists of individual therapy, skills class, and skills coaching in between sessions. This may be an effective option for those whose circumstances need more support than a weekly therapy session, are stepping down from a higher level of care, or are interested in a focused approach to treating overcontrolled coping and/or internalizing disorders.
