As a woman of color, and an ally to the LGBTQIA community, I  pride myself on providing a welcoming, safe space where I will listen to  you with compassion and non-judgment while challenging you to move  forward. I work with  adult-aged individuals and couples who are facing the desire to improve  the quality of their lives. 

I have worked with an array of people coping with communication  issues, interpersonal challenges, anxiety, and depression. I use  multicultural perspectives, along with CBT, DBT, and mindfulness  techniques to promote change  in how you view yourself and, the Gottman method to assist couples in  reducing conflict. 

My role is to aid you in exploring the symptoms or behaviors  that are no longer useful to you and then to assess what changes may be  possible. And, change is often possible.

Our Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a form of psychological treatment  that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems  including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness.


CBT is based on several core principles, including:

  1. Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking.
  2. Psychological problems are based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.
  3. People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways  of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more  effective in their lives.

CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns

 

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to  real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and  decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning.  


Applied Behavior Analysis helps to understand: 

  • How behavior works
  • How behavior is affected by the environment
  • How learning takes place


Applied Behavior Analysis can help:

  • Increase language and communication skills
  • Improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics 
  • Decrease problem behaviors

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

DBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy that is utilized to treat personality disorders and interpersonal conflicts.


DBT can be useful in treating:

  • Mood disorders
  • Suicidal ideation
  • Changing behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance use


DBT combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from contemplative meditative practice.
