VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a well established treatment modality I have used for more than 20 years in my work with others. It is especially helpful with reoccurring thoughts and managing anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Couples Counseling
As a well seasoned therapist, i am committed to supporting and guiding individuals and couples on their transformative journey towards a healthy, loving, supportive, and deeply connected partnerships. My approach is centered on the therapeutic alliance, which is holistic, collaborative and strength based. I work to help couples identify the core issues, attachment styles, patterns of thinking, acting, and behaving, and exploration of how this impacts intimate partnerships. Together you will develop healthy coping skills, learn open and direct communication, and healthy conflict resolution strategies. I will guide and support you as you learn to navigate emotional challenges, develop deeper connection, and enhance intimacy and overall well being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is an effective tools designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, and reduce negative thinking patterns, including self harming thoughts and behaviors.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a culturally competent therapist, I practice respectful exploration, understanding, and integration of cultural ideologies and practices. Together we will explore how cultural values and ideas may manifest in our thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and within relationships with others and within the self.
