My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral interventions is a practical way in which I encourage clients to utilize in addressing dysfunctional thoughts, emotions and behaviors that has been a proven modality in addressing anxiety, depression and substance use disorder.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapeutic interventions have an psychoeducational component, designing skills to address intense emotions and negotiating within personal and social relationships addressing multiple issues. The word "Dialectic" reinforces that life is complex! Do you find yourself struggling to make decisions? DBT teaches one to find the balance within opposing forces while providing a space and place in efforts to investigate the truth of powerful negative emotions.

Couples Counseling

I have been afforded that opportunity to work along side couples utilizing Gottman interventions that are interventions to assist couples in skills that will increase a deeper sense of understanding, awareness, empathy, and connectedness within their relationships that ultimately leads to intimacy and interpersonal growth.

Grief Therapy

I am fortunate to have had an opportunity to work with individuals who have struggled with grief and loss. I have found success in the use of implenting various interventions incorporating CBT, DBT while utilizing Kubler Ross's stages of grief as a foundation for understanding and growth through the process of grief and loss.

Attachment-based

Enjoy providing psychoeducation and processing experiences and how it impacts one within currrent day. Attachment theories are great in exploring in efforts to identify past wounds regardless to small t or big T traumas it's worth exploring attachment styles as our style of attachment typically is how we engage with others. Attachment styles impact relationships as well as ways in which we communicate and interact with self and others.
