Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a major treatment modality in my practice. CBT has helped many of my clients to identify cognitive distortions and challenge reoccurring thoughts by creating new more helpful behaviors. 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.

Strength-Based

Strength based therapy encourages collaboration with clients, identifying strengths, and focuses on solutions. This method highlights client's strengths and resilience and has helped my clients to minimize avoidance, and build confidence.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is useful to assist clients in accepting difficult thoughts and emotions, then move forward and realign your thoughts with what matters. Creating distance gives those difficult thoughts less control over your emotions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT works well with clients who've experienced intense emotions, struggle with unstable relationships, and impulsivity. Clients develop mindfulness techniques, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and effective interpersonal skills.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

This method is very useful for short term therapy clients in need of decision making support. Natural survival skills, resilience, and strengths are hi lighted and used to develop clear goals for behavioral change.
