These well-researched modalities allow me to help you better reach your mental health goals and improve your wellbeing.
Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Through experiential exercises and mindfulness techniques, I guide individuals in accepting their emotions and thoughts without judgment, fostering a willingness to embrace life's challenges and work towards cultivating flexibility. Together, we identify your core values and commit to meaningful actions, which empowers you to lead a more authentic and purposeful life. I use acceptance and commitment therapy as a valuable tool for promoting acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action in the journey towards psychological well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I use this powerful tool to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns. Together, we explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work towards restructuring unhelpful beliefs, fostering healthier perspectives, and implementing practical coping strategies. Through this process, you’ll gain a greater sense of control over your emotions and behaviors, feeling empowered to navigate life's challenges with increased resilience and a more positive mindset.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
With this approach, I help you navigate and reframe your traumatic experiences. Together, well identify and examine the thought patterns related to your trauma. Using targeted interventions, we challenge and modify these unhelpful thoughts, work towards fostering a healthier perspective on past experiences. This process enables you to cultivate resilience, reduce your stress, and ultimately reclaim a sense of stability in your life.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
I use this modality as a comprehensive approach to help individuals navigate emotional distress and improve their relationships. By integrating mindfulness techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and interpersonal skill-building, I guide my clients in developing adaptive coping mechanisms. With this modality, the emphasis is on balancing acceptance and change, which fosters a supportive environment for you to cultivate resilience and attain a more fulfilling life.
Imagery Rehearsal Therapy
In a supportive environment, I use this process to help you replace distressing dreams with positive mental images. We’ll explore and reshape the content of recurring nightmares to foster a sense of empowerment and control. Through systematic rehearsal of alternative, constructive scenarios, you will not only gain mastery over your experiences, but also cultivate resilience and improved emotional well-being in your daily lives. This modality serves as a powerful tool for unraveling the intricate threads of subconscious distress and weaving a tapestry of healing and self-discovery.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
I use this modality to help you cultivate a heightened awareness of your thoughts and emotions. By guiding you through mindfulness exercises, we explore the present moment non-judgmentally and foster a deeper understanding of automatic thought patterns. This technique empowers you to break free from negative cycles and enhancing your capacity to respond to challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Often used in combination with other modalities, I find my clients develop a more compassionate relationship with their thoughts, ultimately promoting lasting positive change.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
I use this modality as a cornerstone in helping you navigate the aftermath of traumatic experiences. By integrating cognitive and behavioral interventions, I assist you in identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns while at the same time fostering coping skills to manage distressing emotions. Together, we work to process trauma, understand your experience and enhance your emotional resiliency.
