Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In individual therapy, I will utilize components of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their distress. Through collaborative exploration and practical exercises, we work together to develop healthier coping strategies and adaptive responses to life's challenges.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation equips clients with the tools and resources needed to make informed decisions and actively participate in their therapeutic journey.
Trauma-Focused CBT
In individual therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will be utilized to address specific needs of clients who experienced traumatic events. Clients will learn to process and make sense of their traumatic experiences, while developing coping skills to manage distressing symptoms. TF-CBT emphasizes safety, trust-building, and empowerment.
Strength-Based
Through collaborative exploration and affirmation of strengths, clients gain a deeper understanding of their capabilities and potential for growth. The strength-based approach encourages clients to set meaningful goals aligned with their values and strengths, promoting a more holistic and sustainable path towards well-being.
