Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist and have been using this method for years. It is practiced in sessions by identifying primary concerns and needs, incorporating problem solving skills, effective communication skills and social functioning skills to identify connections between thoughts, feelings and actions.
Christian Counseling
I have provided Christian based therapy by applying methods and techniques that are Bible based practices to address internalizing concerns and disruptions in activities of daily living.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling practices are used to address relationship barriers, communication patterns and techniques using various assignments and mocking practices in session. Couples counseling also entails identifying love languages, problem solving skills, reflection, and various activities to increase relationships building techniques.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I am a certified TF-CBT therapist and focus on the 8 components of TF-CBT which are addressing assessment and engagement, psychoeducation, relaxation, parenting, affective modulation, cognitive coping, trauma narrative and safety.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I mainly utilize person centered therapy where I focus on genuineness and congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic responses as well as guidance and self awareness.
