My Specialities
I specialize in treating anxiety, OCD, trauma, and emotion dysregulation. Individual therapy offers a focused, collaborative space to address these challenges, build practical skills, and create meaningful change.
At Axis, we use research-supported methods tailored to your needs and goals — helping you gain clarity, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
What to Expect
Therapy typically begins with an assessment to clarify your goals, challenges, and history. From there, we:
Define clear goals for treatment together
Select approaches that fit your needs and strengths
Practice skills during and between sessions to support change
Review and adjust regularly based on progress
Sessions are active and collaborative — you won’t just talk about problems, you’ll work on solutions and strategies you can use in daily life.
Core Approaches
My work is grounded in well-established, research-supported interventions selected based on your goals and needs. Some of the main treatments include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A structured, practical approach that helps you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense emotions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Builds flexibility by acceptance difficult thoughts/feelings and taking action toward valued directions.
Exposure-based & Trauma-Focused interventions
Confidently confront avoidance, process trauma, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and reclaim freedom.
Other approaches — such as CBT-I for sleep, Rumination-Focused CBT for repetitive thinking, the Unified Protocol, mindfulness-based methods, and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) — may also be integrated when relevant.
