He focuses on helping people identify and work through distorted thought patterns and supports those coping with depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, borderline personality concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

His clinical background includes work in an Intensive Outpatient Program, which has given him experience supporting individuals with more severe depression and anxiety symptoms.

He attends to mood disorders, impulsivity, and interpersonal dynamics with a non-judgmental, supportive stance, tailoring therapeutic techniques to each person's needs.

CBT and DBT Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used to address depression, anxiety, stress, and problems with self-esteem by teaching practical skills to reframe thoughts and try new actions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be especially helpful for managing impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges by offering concrete tools for coping in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning allows adjustments over time so methods match what is actually helpful.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home or work, and to continue therapy during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals who use evidence-informed techniques.
