Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I implement CBT in my sessions to help change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feelings, and behaviors. CBT uses practical self-help strategies. These are designed to immediately improve quality of life.

Jungian

I use Jungian therapy which helps to develop a greater self-understanding to help the client increase awareness of the unconscious aspects of his/her experiences. As a therapist, I help clients explore experiences from their past and consider how they may be impacting them currently.

Motivational Interviewing

I incorporate Motivational interviewing in my sessions to establish a supportive relationship with the client. The goal is to help the client develop a positive attitude towards change. In this way, the client feels empowered to take positive actions in addressing their concerns and needs.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I implement Trauma-Focus treatment modality to help clients develop new beliefs about their trauma, their role in it, and their ability to cope. I introduce skills for them to use when dealing with overwhelming thoughts and feelings as well as how to handle emergencies.

Supportive

The here-and-now issues that should be the primary focus of supportive therapy are those concerning everyday functioning. In my sessions, I attemt to recognize: How is the client feeling? How is the client is getting along at work, with family, with friends and other life events.
