Virtual & In Person Therapy in CT

My Approach
I use an eclectic therapeutic approach that integrates strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT/CBT) to meet each patient’s unique needs. From ACT, I incorporate mindfulness, values clarification, and techniques that help patients build psychological flexibility. Motivational Interviewing guides in fostering collaboration, evoking intrinsic motivation, and supporting patients through ambivalence and change. DBT and CBT strategies provide practical, skills-based tools—such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral activation—that help patients manage symptoms and develop healthier patterns. By blending these evidence-based approaches, I’m able to tailor interventions that support meaningful, sustainable progress.
