Therapy Approaches
Therapy isn’t meant to be a one-size-fits-all solution - that’s why I believe in customizing treatment to fit your specific needs. Here are some of the ways I can help.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Recognizing, replacing, and reframing negative thought patterns; identifying and changing behaviors; developing coping skills
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Clients focus on trauma while receiving bilateral stimulation to decrease the severity of activation and emotional overwhelm related to past experiences
Person-Centered Therapy
Focuses on the therapeutic relationship, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness
Strengths-Based Therapy
Places emphasis on an individual’s unique strengths, goal-setting, autonomy, connections with others, etc.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, and mindfulness
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Provides support in accepting emotions and feelings using mindfulness, decreasing judgment of thoughts, and exploration of core values and identity while promoting positive life changes and resilience
