My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"As a dedicated therapist, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a cornerstone of my practice due to its proven efficacy in helping individuals achieve lasting positive changes in their lives. CBT empowers my clients by focusing on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, fostering self-awareness, and providing practical tools to challenge negative patterns and cultivate healthier coping strategies. My commitment to CBT stems from its evidence-based approach, tailored interventions, and collaborative nature, allowing me to support clients in addressing a wide range of concerns and achieving meaningful progress towards their goals."
Attachment-based
"I am passionate about utilizing Attachment-Based Therapy in my practice because it offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the impact of early relationships on an individual's emotional development and current relational patterns. By focusing on the bonds formed in childhood and how they shape our adult connections, Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients gain insight into their attachment styles, address unresolved trauma, and develop healthier relational dynamics. This approach not only fosters self-awareness and personal growth but also promotes secure attachment bonds, leading to more fulfilling and resilient relationships."
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness based that combines traditional therapeutic practices with mindfulness techniques. This approach is designed to help clients develop a deep awareness of their thoughts, emotions and deeper awareness of their thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations in the present moment.
Faith based therapy
"I incorporate faith-based counseling into my practice when a client wants it, because it allows me to integrate faith-based principles and values into the therapeutic process. I believe that spirituality plays a vital role in mental, emotional, and relational well-being, and for clients who share a Faith based worldview, Faith-based counseling provides a safe and supportive space to explore their faith and its impact on their lives. Through a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques offers a holistic approach that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It allows clients to draw strength from their faith, find meaning and purpose in their experiences, and navigate life's challenges with hope and resilience. My goal is to support clients in aligning their beliefs with their actions, deepening their relationship with God, and achieving healing, growth, and transformation in all areas of their lives."
