Evidence Based Practice
As a clinical psychologist, I practice within the scientist-practitioner model. I am committed to using gold-standard treatment approaches when it makes sense to use them, hypothesis testing, and continuous evaluation of progress to achieve the best outcomes for my clients.
I am skilled in a number of evidence-based treatments, or protocols. These are treatment approaches that are targeted to a specific symptom set and have demonstrated efficacy in research trials. After a thorough assessment and time to build rapport, we will make a mutual commitment to work toward a shared goal. We may, or may not, choose to work within one, or more, of the following treatment modalities:
Behavioral Activation for Depression
Schema Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems for adult work on childhood abuse, neglect, and childhood wounds
STAIR/NST for adult survivors of childhood abuse and/or neglect
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (Skills only) for emotion regulation and interpersonal skills
Prolonged Exposure for trauma
Written Exposure Therapy for trauma
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for mood/anxiety/trauma
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for mood/anxiety/insomnia
Interoceptive Exposure for Panic Disorder
Exposure and Response Prevention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Specific Phobia
Integrative Behavioral Couple’s Therapy
