What I Offer
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been practicing CBT for many years with children, teens and adults. I look at automatic thoughts and how it affects feelings and behavioral patterns. I offer clients worksheets to help acknowledge negative thoughts they have and how to re-frame these thoughts and we discuss this in session.
Strength-Based
I look for a clients' strengths and guide them to embrace their strengths as they build their capacity towards resiliency.
Compassion Focused
I help clients who need relationship support with significant others and immediate family. I explore how relationship patterns affect feelings of attachment and build trust. I teach clients how to label feelings and sit with uncomfortable thoughts. I offer compassion and validation for where the client is emotionally.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I help parents and children with relationship-building strategies. I offer practical tips on how to set limits and how to help your child express their emotions, and how to help them feel safe doing this.
