I offer a non judgmental space to help clients navigate the path to healing.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I am non judgmental and empathetic. I am also very open to various techniques and willing to help in different modalities to help achieve your goals.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with teens and adults. I believe in the inherent strength and resilience within each individual, and I am committed to supporting my clients in harnessing their innate capacity for growth and healing. I view therapy as a partnership, where together we explore challenges, uncover insights, and cultivate strategies for positive change.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach to therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I have utilized CBT to help in the following areas: Assessment and Goal Setting:Identifying Thoughts, Emotions, and Behaviors: Challenging Negative Thoughts: Developing Coping Strategies: Behavioral Activation: CBT :Review and Feedback and Relapse Prevention This is especially helpful in helping clients with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse and grief.
Couples Counseling
Together, I work with couples to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles and concerns related to their relationships. We'll work through your patterns, and I'll help you and your partner grow together via new communication methods. Couples who engage with and complete this process emerge from the other side, feeling closer and seeing each other differently.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT provides a comprehensive framework for individuals to build a life worth living by developing coping skills, improving relationships, and enhancing emotional well-being. It's often delivered through individual therapy sessions, skills training groups, and phone coaching to provide support and reinforcement outside of therapy sessions.
Family Therapy
family therapy offers a holistic approach to addressing challenges within the family system, promoting understanding, resilience, and healing I will work with you and your family to help with communication, conflicts, various dynamics and through transitions.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness, at its core, is about being present and fully engaged in the current moment without judgment. It involves paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. We can use mindfulness together to help decrease stress and enhance aelf awareness.
