Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective treatment that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. CBT emphasizes the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping clients find new ways to respond by changing these patterns. In therapy, I may incorporate strategies such as role-playing and assigning homework to reinforce the skills learned in session.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is about focusing on the present and accepting your thoughts, feelings, and sensations intentionally and without judgment. In therapy, I use mindfulness to help you become more self-aware, manage stress, and handle negative perceptions. We might use simple techniques like deep breathing, guided meditation, or exercises to help you stay grounded, break free from overthinking, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy works by creating a therapeutic environment characterized by empathy, acceptance, and authenticity. In this supportive setting, clients are encouraged to explore their inner experiences and emotions without fear of judgment.
Couples Counseling
I work with both partners to help them gain insight into the root of their issues, rebuild trust if needed, and promote individual and collective growth. The main aim is to help couples create healthier dynamics and find better ways to relate to each other.
