How I Work
At Axis, therapy is practical and personal. I combine effective strategies with a flexible, collaborative process designed to fit your needs.
Philosophy
Everyone comes to therapy with their own history, strengths, and challenges.
Treatment at Axis is flexible, research-based, and tailored to what’s most helpful for your goals.
Process
We begin with a clear assessment of current struggles and what you want to change.
Together we build a plan, apply interventions, and check in regularly to make adjustments that keep treatment effective.
Approach
I primarily draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused treatments (PE, CPT).
My work also incorporates transdiagnostic models like the Unified Protocol, FAP, and mindfulness-based interventions when appropriate.
