Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I use CBT, more specifically the Unified Protocol (UP), regularly in my treatment of depression and anxiety. This may look like specific homework assignments and tasks between sessions.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
I have utilized Mindfulness-based Cognitive therapy (MBCT) in group and individual sessions since 2020. This approach may look like doing specific meditations or psychological exercises during and in between sessions. This may also include breathing exercises, homework, simple yoga postures, and tasks between sessions.
Eclectic Approaches/Therapy
I have a basic certification in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) since 2021. ART is similar to Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). Both therapies use bilateral stimulation and have both been proven effective for the treatment of PTSD and other disorders. I tailor each client’s treatment plan to their own specific and unique needs and utilize this treatment method when appropriate. This may look like tapping on the body or moving the eyes with a stimulus while you imagine an issue or problem.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
I have worked with CPT in community settings to address trauma-related disorders since 2019. This may look like writing and re-writing about traumatic or upsetting events and processing the emotions and thoughts in session. Typically some work is done to establish safety before we tackle this task.
Affirmative Therapy
This is a therapeutic approach that validates and advocates for the needs of sexual and gender minority individuals. I do not endorse, support, nor provide referrals for conversion therapy.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy/Multicultural Counseling
This approach may emphasize all components of cultural identity in regard to treating and improving mental health.
