In order to tailor treatment to meet individual needs, I draw from a variety of clinical approaches including behaviorally-based treatment models and insight-oriented theories. 

• The bio-social model understands emotional response by examining the intersection of biological predisposition with environment. Rooted in this theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a behaviorally-based treatment approach targeting emotion regulation through effective skill use. 

• Cognitive-Behavioral theory examines and challenges ineffective thoughts patterns that guide behavior and impact emotional states.

• Psychodynamic theory is an insight-oriented process used to identify conscious and unconscious patterns that contribute to feelings and behaviors.
