Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a seasoned licensed therapist, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a powerful approach that helps clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns. Through tailored strategies, I guide individuals in breaking cycles of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, empowering them to develop healthier coping mechanisms. My approach is dynamic and results-driven, ensuring that each session fosters meaningful change and lasting personal growth.
Couples Counseling
In my work with couples, I blend the Gottman Method with Solution-Focused Therapy to help partners strengthen their bond, enhance communication, and navigate challenges effectively. By identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns, we build a foundation of trust and understanding. My approach is goal-oriented and research-driven, focusing on practical strategies that foster connection, resilience, and long-term relationship success.
EMDR
In my work with trauma, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. This evidence-based approach allows individuals to reframe past experiences in a safe, structured way, fostering resilience and emotional healing. By integrating EMDR with other therapeutic methods, I guide clients toward lasting relief, helping them regain control and move forward with confidence.
Gottman method
In my couples therapy practice, I utilize the Gottman Method to help partners rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection. Through research-backed techniques, I guide couples in recognizing destructive patterns and replacing them with healthier interactions. My goal is to create a supportive, structured environment where couples can strengthen their bond, resolve conflicts effectively, and build a more fulfilling relationship.
Grief Therapy
In my grief therapy practice, I provide a compassionate and supportive space for individuals navigating loss. Using evidence-based techniques, I help clients process their emotions, find meaning in their experiences, and develop coping strategies that promote healing. My approach is personalized, honoring each person’s unique journey through grief while empowering them to move forward with resilience and hope.
