My Therapeutic Approaches

I utilize an array of approaches when working with clients, dependent on one’s life story and current challenges.

These include but are not limited to:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - useful for addressing distorted thinking and stuck thoughts

• Exposure Response Prevention - used to treat OCD by having clients confront fears and refrain from ritualizing

• Mindfulness - helpful for calming anxious minds that see fires where there are none

• Psychodynamic Theory - examines how one’s childhood experiences and attachment to primary caregivers shape adult personality

• Solution Focused Therapy - emphasizes present problems and seeks timely resolutions

• Systems Theory - looks at how the individual operates within the context of his/her family

• Trauma Informed Treatment - considers the impact of trauma on behavior and mental health
