My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I employ a diverse approach to identify the most beneficial therapy. I have successfully aided hundreds of individuals in breaking the cycle of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Through the use of CBT, they acquire stress management skills, gain insights into their triggers, and learn to reframe their thoughts.
EMDR
For the past 8 years, I have incorporated EMDR into my practice. This has enabled me to assist individuals in processing traumatic experiences, leading to a gradual alleviation of their symptoms. A majority of my clients have reported an enhancement in their mood and an increased capacity to find joy in life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I received formal training and certification in DBT treatment in 2022. DBT is an evidence based approach that has been extensively applied in rehabilitation centers and community mental health clinics and individual and group therapy to empowering individuals to manage cravings, control impulsivity, and build resilience in the face of stress. Over the years, I have helped my clients develop essential skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through our work together, they learn to embrace their feelings with acceptance and practice self-compassion, fostering a deeper connection with themselves. My clients are equipped with making meaningful, positive changes, leaving behind unhelpful behaviors and improving their interpersonal relationships. They discover a renewed sense of connection with the people they love, enabling them to live fuller, more enriching lives.
Strength-Based
I employ a strength-based approach in my practice. The primary focus is to help clients acquire skills to manage various issues and to recognize their own strengths as a crucial element in their treatment process. As a therapist, I strive to meet my clients where they are, providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.
Compassion Focused
My approach to therapy is focused on building trust, promoting self-awareness, and empowerment. I integrate trauma-informed care, strength base, and harm reduction to help my clients with quicker healing and lasting recovery. I use a variety of methods and techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR. I integrate a harm reduction approach for addiction treatment that focuses on reducing negative consequences rather than the standard focus on abstinence, and empowers clients to make positive changes at their own pace.
