VirtualMy treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I have trained for two years post-graduate in the Psychodynamic approach to therapy. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring the unconscious mind and understanding how past experiences, particularly early childhood experiences, shape current behavior and emotional states. Through discussions and exploration, I will help you identify recurring patterns in your relationships and self-perceptions, develop new patterns, and help facilitate insight and change through a deeper understanding of yourself. In summary, psychodynamic therapy involves a deep dive into past experiences and unconscious processes to understand and address current psychological issues. By exploring these underlying factors, I aim to help clients achieve greater self-awareness and make lasting changes in their emotional and relational patterns.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy as a way to offer tools and strategies to clients that I work with. Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) is a therapeutic approach that integrates mindfulness practices into the treatment of various mental health conditions. Mindfulness, derived from Buddhist traditions, involves paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental and accepting way. MBT aims to cultivate this state of awareness and acceptance to help individuals manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors more effectively. Here’s how I use it in therapy: Core Principles Present Moment Awareness: Encouraging clients to focus on the here and now, rather than ruminating on the past or worrying about the future. Non-Judgmental Acceptance: Teaching clients to observe their thoughts and feelings without labeling them as good or bad, right or wrong. Self-Compassion: Promoting a kind and understanding attitude toward oneself, especially during difficult times. Utilizing these principles and strategies, clients feel more equipped to deal with difficult emotions and regulate their moods, and be empowered that they have more agency in how they are feeling.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT as a way to offer clients tools to challenge their negative thought patterns and beliefs that hold them back.
