Treatment

Style of Therapy

We use the framework of the mentalizing stance derived from the Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), which is an attachment-based, evidence-based therapy, while incorporating additional interventions borrowed from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy CBT, Unifying Therapy, and Dialectic-Behavioral Therapy DBT. I use the Somatic Experiencing modality as a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

Modality of Therapy Provided

• Individual therapy for adults and adolescents (with some parental involvement)

• Couples and family therapy

Clinical supervision for therapists

Clinical supervision is available for therapists seeking to implement a mentalizing stance in their practice. Please reach out directly to discuss.

Conditions Treated

• Relational and attachment difficulties

• Personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic, antisocial)

• Impulsivity, anger, or poor decision-making

• Depression and mood disorders

• Anxiety and panic attacks

• Trauma and PTSD, treated with Somatic Experiencing and PRISM (amygdala-based neurofeedback offered in person)
