VirtualMy treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
Deep listening, skillful questions, and goal setting are just three, simple counseling skills I use to help you build authentic relationships. A little more empathy to understand their feelings is an essential component of all effective therapeutic relationships. I demonstrate empathy by saying things such as, “Seeking support is a courageous step” or “My office is a safe space to explore your feelings.” It’s like turning the volume up on some secret empathy knob. Starting right, emphasizing rapport building, building a positive bond between you and me, and mutually agreeing regarding treatment goals. and building a strong therapeutic alliance with a focus on being trustworthy and creating connectedness is my goal.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Open, caring and nonjudgmental, I will work together with you in an interactive and supportive process where you can grieve, grow, laugh and celebrate as you move towards healing and change. You are going to be OK, I am here to help.
Attachment-based
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionaaly-Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family- Systems Therapy.
Couples Counseling
Marriage therapy and couples counseling is my forte. Relationships require work to grow. Several factors, both internal and external to the relationship, may contribute to difficulties and stress between couples. Becoming new parents, infidelity, sexual dissatisfaction, and money problems are common triggers of a shift or tension between partners. Sometimes, untreated individual disorders such as anxiety, anger management, or depression can cause or increase stress and strain on a relationship. Couples counseling is a type of psychotherapy that helps those involved in a romantic relationship gain insight into their interactions, identify negative communication styles, resolve conflict, and find strategies and tools to improve and strengthen the relationship. No matter your age, marital status, or sexual orientation, I will tailor treatment to the needs of each unique couple. I pride myself in valuing culture, race, religion, and gender as key components of identity within couples counseling.
