VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help you understand the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is a structured and goal-oriented therapeutic modality that empowers individuals to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, leading to positive changes in emotional well-being and overall functioning.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a highly effective treatment approach developed specifically to help individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. DBT is a comprehensive and structured therapy that integrates principles of acceptance, coping strategies, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to promote lasting change.
Existential
In my practice, I utilize Existential Therapy, a philosophical and humanistic approach that delves into the deeper questions and concerns that are inherent to the human experience. Existential Therapy is not about diagnosing or labeling you, but rather about exploring your unique struggles and dilemmas, and the search for meaning that each of us face in life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my practice, I employ Person-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach founded on the belief that you possess the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and healing. Central to Person-Centered Therapy is the concept of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness, which form the foundation of my therapeutic style. In therapy sessions, I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients feel accepted and understood for who they are. I approach each client with genuine curiosity and respect, recognizing that they are the experts of their own experiences.
Trauma-Focused CBT
In my practice, I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events. TF-CBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific interventions to address the emotional and psychological impact of trauma in a safe and supportive environment.
