Eclectic

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, which uses evidence-based practices from different theories to provide the most effective treatment. For depression and anxiety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used because learning coping skills to replace inaccurate/negative automatic thoughts, with true/accurate thoughts, can help manage anxiety and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy also explores how we developed the belief system that makes up our way of interpreting, processing and responding to the situations we encounter. Often, exploring and developing a healthier belief system promotes healing, healthier interpretating, processing and responding to life's situations. Moral Recognition Therapy can be helpful when patterns, past experiences and dysfunctional cycles have occurred, and changes need to be identified and implemented to change the future behaviors. This approach can be helpful with domestic violence, anger management and other physically abusive situations.

Christian Counseling

I grew up in a Christian home that taught me Biblical principles that have helped me have a faith in more than myself, Jesus Christ. If interested, I am very happy to incorporate Christian, Godly principles and beliefs in our sessions. I will never push any beliefs on you. You decide what you want to incorporate in the sessions

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people learn how to think accurately about past and current situations in their lives. Sometimes people develop an inaccurate or irrational belief system about themselves based on things that have happened in the past or present. These personal belief systems can help us process thoughts and feelings in healthy or unhealthy ways, which often determine how we think and cope with situations in life. Together, we can look at the belief system, methods of processing thoughts and feelings, and develop a healthier belief system to improve life.
