Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop effective coping skills, and understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This approach promotes improved self-esteem, positive behavior change, and enhanced emotional regulation."
Somatic
I use Somatic Experiencing (SE) to help clients connect with their bodies and release tension related to anxiety, grief, and life transitions. By focusing on physical sensations, SE promotes emotional regulation, resilience, and healing, allowing clients to process their experiences at their own pace.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths, set clear goals, and find practical solutions to challenges related to anxiety, grief, and life transitions. This strengths-based approach fosters quick, positive change by focusing on what’s working and building on existing resources.
Strength-Based
I use Strengths-Based Therapy to help clients recognize and build on their unique strengths, resilience, and past successes. By focusing on what’s already working, we work together to empower clients to navigate challenges, boost self-confidence, and cultivate a sense of purpose and growth.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and develop greater emotional regulation. By focusing on breathing, body awareness, and acceptance, clients learn to respond to life’s challenges with calm and clarity, enhancing overall well-being.
