I have an eclectic therapy approach using many different treatment modalities. My therapy style is person centered as I tailor my treatment approaches to my clients' individual needs. I really try to make coming to counseling an enjoyable experience by keeping the conversation as engaging, informative, and comfortable as possible. I use traditional counseling techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy, as well as complementary therapy approaches such as mindfulness and meditation to help clients work towards greater happiness. Below is an explaination of my primary therapy approaches and how I use them. Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) I help clients become more aware of how their thinking effects their mood and behavior. I help clients recognize negative thought patterns that are negatively effecting their perceptions. I assist clients in helping them change these patterns through cognitive restructure and reframing. Mindfulness-Based Therapy I weave mindfulness principles into my therapy approach including: nonjudgment, acceptance, curiosity, openness, and non-striving. I also help clients become more objective about negative thoughts and help them learn how to reduce over processing. Additionally, I teach my clients mindfulness techniques to improve stress management and relaxation.
