Evidence based therapies.
Evidence-based therapy means using techniques that have been tested through research and shown to be effective. These treatments aren’t guesswork—they’re structured, goal-oriented, and focused on helping you feel better over time. Many people experience meaningful reductions in symptoms through this kind of targeted work.
I use different therapy models depending on your goals and the concerns you’re bringing in. Some are designed to help process traumatic experiences, while others focus on reducing anxiety, improving mood, or shifting behavioral patterns that feel unhelpful. Below, you’ll find a brief overview of the therapies I most often use in my practice.
-
CBT is one of the most well-established and widely studied therapies available. It helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and how those patterns may be contributing to what you’re going through. CBT can be adapted to address many concerns, such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and even sleep difficulties. In CBT, we work together to recognize unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of thinking and responding that support your well-being. -
CPT is a structured trauma-focused treatment designed to help people who are feeling stuck after a traumatic experience. Trauma can often lead to painful beliefs about yourself, others, or the world. CPT helps you identify and reframe these beliefs in a way that promotes recovery, self-compassion, and a clearer path forward. The effectiveness of CPT has been studied for over 30 years and is considered a gold standard treatment for trauma-related disorders.

Prolonged Exposure is another first line treatment for PTSD that helps you gradually face memories and situations you’ve been avoiding. Avoidance is a common response to trauma—but over time, it can keep you feeling very limited and disconnected. PE offers a structured, supportive process to safely approach what feels overwhelming, so you can reduce distress, regain confidence, and re-engage with your life. This therapy is backed by decades of research and has helped many people experience lasting relief from trauma symptoms.
-
WET is a brief, structured therapy for PTSD that involves writing about the traumatic experience in a guided and supportive way. It allows you to process your memories without needing to go into detail verbally. For people who prefer a more focused and time-limited approach, WET is a straightforward and effective option. -
ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that helps you stay present and engaged, even when you’re going through something emotionally challenging. Instead of trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you change your relationship with them—so they have less power over you. It can be especially helpful for people facing anxiety, stress, or chronic emotional pain. At its core, ACT focuses on identifying what is most important to you and helping you take meaningful steps toward the life you want to live.
✙ Help for helpers.
Frontline professions come with unique challenges. I work with healthcare professionals, first responders, and others in roles where stress and trauma are part of the job. You spend your days helping and protecting others—your well-being deserves attention, too.
Therapy that works.
Healing starts with choosing an approach that’s effective. I provide treatment that’s evidence-based and tailored to your needs—offering structure, support, and strategies that help you make meaningful progress.
