VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My main treatment modality is CBT and have used it in my practice with my clients. Together, we take a close look at thoughts and emotions. You’ll come to understand how your thoughts affect your actions. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.
Christian Counseling
I use Faith based counseling for individuals that would like to incorporate spirituality and their Faith practices.
Grief Therapy
Grief can be difficult and complicated. I use different therapy modalities to assist with grief counseling. I have experience working at hospice and providing emotional and bereavement services.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals accept and embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT encourages people to commit to actions that align with their values and aims to increase psychological flexibility by promoting acceptance and mindfulness strategies combined with commitment and behavior change techniques.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines the principles of cognitive therapy with mindfulness strategies to help individuals better understand and manage their thoughts and emotions. MBCT teaches clients to focus on the present moment and observe their thoughts without judgment, which can reduce the risk of relapse in depression and help manage other conditions like anxiety and stress.
