Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my practice as a therapist, I bring over 20 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their distress. By incorporating CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation, I guide clients in developing practical skills and coping strategies that promote mental well-being and support them in achieving their therapy goals effectively.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

For the past 20 years, I have embraced a Person-Centered approach, creating a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. I focus on providing a safe space where clients feel fully accepted and empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges at their own pace. By prioritizing the client’s autonomy and self-discovery, I help facilitate personal growth, enhance self-acceptance, and foster meaningful insights that lead to lasting, positive change.

Grief Therapy

In my practice as a therapist, I specialize in grief therapy, supporting individuals through the profound emotional journey of loss. Using a compassionate, client-centered approach, I help clients navigate the stages of grief, process complex emotions, and find meaning in their loss. Through techniques such as narrative therapy, mindfulness, and supportive counseling, I provide a safe space for clients to honor their feelings, adapt to life changes, and ultimately integrate their loss into a renewed sense of self and purpose.

Eclectic

As an eclectic therapist, I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic approaches and techniques, tailored to each client’s unique needs and preferences. By integrating elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, and more, I collaborate with clients to create a customized treatment plan. This flexible approach allows me to address a wide variety of mental health concerns, empowering clients to explore different modalities and discover strategies that best support their personal growth, healing, and overall well-being.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In my practice as a therapist, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cultivate psychological flexibility and embrace values-driven living. ACT emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and commitment to taking meaningful action aligned with personal values. I guide clients in identifying their values, clarifying goals, and developing mindfulness skills to navigate challenges with greater resilience and authenticity. Through ACT, clients learn to relate differently to their thoughts and emotions, fostering a deeper sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being.
