My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In CBT we start by understanding the challenges that you are facing. Together, we set achievable goals focused on changing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We Identify and challenge cognitive distortions, and learn how to reframe negative thoughts. Finally, I monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed to promote lasting change.

Eclectic

I use this modality to meet the unique needs of each client by utilizing different techniques and theories from various therapeutic modalities. The focus is on tailoring the treatment to fit the client rather than adhering strictly to one theoretical orientation. This approach has allowed me to be flexible and creative in addressing a wide range of psychological issues and personal circumstances. By drawing from multiple sources, I am able to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to healing and growth.

Interpersonal

I utilize this approach this treatment modality to bring focus to the connections between a client's interpersonal relationships and their psychological well-being. I help examine client's patterns of interaction with others and how these patterns impact their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Emphasis is placed on understanding and improving communication skills, resolving conflicts, and building healthier relationships. The therapy process involves exploring significant relationships and life events that may be contributing to a client's current difficulties. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance the client's interpersonal functioning and create more fulfilling connections with others.
