Adult Therapy

I specialize in working with adults in California who are struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Anger Problems, and Troubled Relationships.

I understand that each person's experience and needs are unique, and my treatment approach is grounded in science and emphasizes the importance of the relationship between client and therapist.  I use a variety of evidence-based treatment methods to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses each client's specific needs.

These methods include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy:  This approach helps individuals learn to accept and live with difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while also working towards personal goals and values.

• Cognitive Behavior Therapy:  This approach helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that are contributing to their difficulties.

• Cognitive Processing Therapy:  This approach helps individuals understand and process traumatic events in order to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT):  This approach helps individuals learn skills for managing emotions and improving relationships.

• DBT Prolonged Exposure Protocol for Trauma:  This approach helps individuals with PTSD safely confront and process their traumatic memories.

• Mentalization-Based Therapy:  This approach helps individuals understand and reflect on their own and others' mental states in order to improve relationships and emotional regulation.

• Motivational Interviewing:  This approach helps individuals identify and build on their own motivations for change.

• Radically Open DBT:  This approach helps individuals with over-controlled emotional patterns to open up to their emotions and improve social connections.

If you're ready to take the first step towards feeling better, please contact me to schedule an appointment.  I look forward to working with you.
