Acceptance Commitment therapy is fundamental in our work with values. In ACT, we learn strategies that increase psychological flexibility, resillience, distress tolerance skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps clients identify problematic thought patterns and behaviors which exasperate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
A CBT approach helps challenge these beliefs and thoughts in order to identify healthy alternative beliefs. I work collaboratively in helping you identify alternative ways of thinking and behaving that are reflective of your values and goals.
Systems therapy pays special attention to how the dynamics in a system impact the overall emotional wellbeing and functioning of individuals involved in the family system.
I offer solutions that keep in mind the complex parts of a system you live in while supporting you toward reaching your own goals and values.
Narrative Therapy focuses on helping individuals author their story.
I use this modality to help individuals during change, adjustment, and life transitions as we explore ways of relating and telling our stories in a way that accounts for our core values and principles.
The aim of Solution Focused Therapy is to identify solutions to present and future problems, and allow individuals to implement strategies directly, without relying only on the history and provenance of those problems.
In our work, we work on identifying solutions that help you align your thoughts and behaviors in ways that support the practical needs of your life.
Effective communication skills are vital to enhancing the quality of our relationships. We work on practicing communication skills that help you express your wants and needs without distancing others.
We role play scenerios and identify specific ways to modify and improve your communication style in order to evoke trust and transparency while remaining authentic and assertive to your needs.
Our past experiences play a significant role in influencing our beliefs, decisions, and behavioral patterns.
I offer insight and information based on evidence based research, psychological models and theories that explain and elaborate how past experiences can influence present and future expectations of oneself and others.
Being aware of these principles is the first step to increasing self-awareness and empathy while learning how to challenge unhelpful patterns.
We work on identifying strategies that help challenge tendencies that have been shaped from the past while replacing them with more effective and rewarding behavior.
