Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've used CBT in my practice for many years. I have noticed a positive impact and change with the clients that utilize the skills. In our sessions we will use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help lead you to a more positive way of thinking and living.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution focused therapy allows me to focus on identifying and amplifying clients' strengths and resources to help them achieve their desired goals. We will work on emphasizing what's working well and encourage clients to build on their existing strengths and build on times when the problem didn't occur. This is a great option as it typically consists of a few sessions, with a focus on achieving rapid results.
Eclectic
I utilize eclectic therapy to combine techniques and approaches from various theoretical schools of psychology to create a customized treatment plan for each individual client. I believe that the therapeutic process should not be based on a one-size-fits-all approach and that the most effective treatment will vary depending on the client's specific needs and circumstances.
