Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

With the Acceptance and Commitment approach, I will aim to help individuals learn to accept the difficult aspects of their lives while committing to making positive changes.

Christian Counseling

I use a holistic, integrative model that aligns with the client's faith, blending psychological techniques with spiritual practices like prayer and Scripture to address mind, body, and spirit. C Additionally, I operate within a Christian worldview, viewing issues through the lens of a fallen, but redeemable, humanity and co-create a counseling experience for reconciliation with God, others, and self.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I guide the client in identifying and examining unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, teaching them to replace these with more positive and productive alternatives through structured sessions that include homework assignments. The focus is primarily on present-day issues and developing coping strategies to address them.

Couples Counseling

I begin by creating a safe, neutral space, facilitating balanced connection with each partner, and helping couples identify and change negative patterns to build healthier communication and emotional intimacy. Some of my key counseling approaches include establishing clear expectations and confidentiality, validating emotions, teaching effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and focusing on the relationship's emotional bond through approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Collaborative Management and Assessment of Suicidality (CAMS)

I use CAMS by building a strong, collaborative relationship with the client to understand and treat the specific "drivers" of their suicidal thoughts. The process is structured around a tool called the Suicide Status Form (SSF) and consists of three main phases: initial assessment, interim treatment, and resolution.
