Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand how thoughts drive behavior and to learn new skills that support strength based ideas about self.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Emotions can frivr our responses. Either DBT, I help clients understand how to identify emotions and practice mindfulness to support with self regulation, allowing an individual to acknowledge how we feel without those emotions controlling those behaviors.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have used mindfulness based therapy to support behavioral changes with clients.
Strength-Based
When we learn more about ourselves we start to strength self esteem and the idea that we can achieve our goals in therapy. Strength based therapy helps to identify what is already working, and use it to help strengthen areas we may want to strengthen. I use strength based therapy to support trauma work, anxiety and build self esteem.
