Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my therapeutic work, I collaboratively identify specific issues and establish achievable goals with my clients. I provide insight into the intricate connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, fostering awareness of automatic reactions. Together, we pinpoint negative thought patterns contributing to distress and work on challenging and reframing them for a more balanced perspective. I incorporate personalized behavioral techniques like exposure therapy, guiding clients to confront and overcome challenges. To reinforce learned skills, I assign practical homework, empowering individuals to actively contribute to their ongoing progress beyond our sessions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I guide individuals like you through the cultivation of mindfulness skills, aiming to heighten awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present moment without passing judgment. Together, we delve into developing the necessary skills to tolerate and navigate crises, ensuring clents can weather challenges without succumbing to impulsive or harmful decisions. We work on accepting and finding constructive ways to endure pain without escalating the situation. In our sessions, I help clients identify and regulate intense emotions, providing tools to enhance emotional awareness, reduce vulnerability, and manage emotions in a healthier manner. The interpersonal effectiveness component is tailored to your needs, teaching skills to improve your communication, assertiveness, and navigate interpersonal relationships more effectively.
