I often begin sessions with a grounding mindfulness practice to help clients connect with their body and be present in the moment. As a behavioral therapist specializing in DBT, I use the Biosocial Model to explore how growing up in invalidating environments may impact emotional regulation and relationships. I also integrate ACT, CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions.
