Our introductory session is designed to cover essential administrative requirements, including informed consent and privacy policies, before transitioning into a clinical discussion regarding your history and current needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as the foundational framework for analyzing the cognitive appraisals that occur during distressing events. This process involves identifying the specific automatic thoughts and internal dialogues that mediate emotional responses. Beyond initial symptom management, the clinical focus shifts toward developing self-awareness, evaluating current coping mechanisms, and cultivating adaptive behavioral alternatives to established triggers. The strengths used in this work include empathic listening skills, a curiosity about each person's life situation and life experience, combined with an understanding of our human nature.
An ideal therapy client is someone whois consistent in their therapy, tried to take personal responsibility for their progress in and out of the therapy setting, accepts and remains open to honest feedback, and actively practices new coping skills once we have identifed them. It does not matter where you grew up, your community or home environment, the fact you are seeking support to work through a life stressor or issue is the first step to personal growth.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a one type of short-term, problem-focused therapy, which has been successfully used with a number of psychological and emotional problems, including depression, anxiety and addictive behaviors, over the last 20-30 years. CBT aims to help clients identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that cause distress. Thoughts play a major role in the emotional and behavioral problems experienced by individuals. While situations (a friend not returning a telephone call) can elicit some feelings (irritation or anxiety), the way we think about this situation (“Something is wrong” or “This person doesn’t care”) can make the emotional reaction more severe or intense. Behaviors can also be part of the problem. For example, if the individual, who is feeling bad waiting for a return call from a friend, calls repeatedly leaving angry messages for the other person, it is likely the situation will be made worse. Exploring the connection between situations, thoughts, feelings and behavior will be helpful in revealing maladaptive thinking or behavioral patterns, which can then be changed leading to less emotional distress.
Grief therapy helps individuals understand and process the wide range of emotions associated with loss, including sadness, anger, disbelief, guilt, and confusion. When working with those experiencing emotions brought on by loss, I work to increased self-awareness and understanding of grief reactions, reduce emotional distress, improve mood, facilitate learning healthy coping skills to manage grief-related challenges, and help the individual adapt to the new reality of being without the person in their life.
Strength-based therapy is a collaborative process the client and I work together to identify and recognize their strengths. We, then, utilizing this knowledge to explore a deeper understanding of themselves and their potential for self-actualization.
