Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Over the years, I have found CBT to be incredibly effective, particularly when working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or the impacts of trauma. I collaborate with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be holding them back, helping them replace these with more balanced and constructive ways of thinking.

Attachment-based

I have extensive experience using attachment-based theory to help clients understand how early relationships and attachment patterns influence their emotional well-being and current relationships. In my practice, I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore these dynamics, particularly when working with trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I guide clients in identifying patterns rooted in their attachment experiences and support them in developing healthier, more secure connections with themselves and others.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths, resources, and goals while focusing on practical solutions rather than dwelling on problems. In my practice, I guide clients to envision their desired outcomes and identifying small, actionable steps to achieve them. By emphasizing what's already working in their lives, I help client's build confidence and create sustainable change.
