Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Along with DBT principles, I help clients identify harmful thought patterns or negative core beliefs they have about themselves, others, and the world. Then use evidenced based tools to capture helpful thoughts, process/ regulate emotions, and understand themselves better. Thus, gaining the ability to use more beneficial behaviors, improve communication/relationships, and build stress tolerance without resorting to harmful behaviors.

Couples Counseling

I use this method to help couples reshape, rebuild, and strengthen their marriage for a better quality of life together. However, if the couple would like, I help them create an amicable separation as they pursue a healthy divorce.

Christian Counseling

I use this treatment method to help those recovering from religious trauma, struggling with internal battles with serving God, and living within God will while facing mental health concerns.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I love using this modality to help clients build psychological flexibility and align their actions with their core values. I incorporate mindfulness techniques, metaphors, and experiential exercises to guide clients in managing difficult thoughts and emotions. This approach has been effective in addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Narrative

Narrative has helped my clients heal from deep trauma and address relational issues. This approach focuses on assisting clients to re-author their stories by separating themselves from problem-saturated narratives and identifying their strengths and values. It has been especially effective in empowering clients to build healthier relationships and reclaim a sense of agency in their lives.
