therapeutic approach

Lucy’s approach is grounded in therapies that are backed by research, but delivered in a way that feels human, collaborative, and down-to-earth. She combines structure and clear guidance with warmth, compassion, and humor, creating a space where clients feel supported and understood. Her goal is to help people build stability, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Her style is structured enough to make progress, and flexible enough to meet you where you are—whether you’re navigating a big transition, feeling stuck, or simply looking for support.

Lucy works with individuals and couples navigating

Anxiety and obsessive thinking

Relationship conflict and communication difficulties

Emotion dysregulation and impulsive behaviors

Trauma and post-traumatic stress

Maladaptive coping patterns

Major life transitions

Her clients are often high-functioning, motivated individuals who seek an evidence-based and goal-oriented therapeutic process that also honors the complexity of emotion and relationship.

While her foundation is in DBT, Lucy draws flexibly from EMDR, EFT, ERP, ACT, CBT, and PE to address the full range of emotional, cognitive, and relational challenges her clients face.

Sessions emphasize both change strategies (e.g., behavioral modification, exposure, cognitive restructuring) and acceptance-based interventions (e.g., mindfulness, validation, distress tolerance).

This integrated framework supports clients in developing:

  • A greater sense of presence

  • More adaptive coping behaviors

  • Greater self-awareness and resilience

  • Healthier, more secure relationships
