The forms of therapy I use:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    An approach that emphasizes that our thoughts are the primary influences on our emotions and behaviors. The focus is changing and reframing your thought process to change how you experience, perceive, respond to, and resolve different situations and problems. This modality emphasizes that in some ways, you have more control in your current reality than you think.

  • Narrative Exposure Therapy

    This approach focuses on processing your trauma through creating a chronological narrative of your life and exploring the system of cognitive, affective, and sensory memories created by your trauma. This helps you to improve your memory and understanding of your trauma contextually and conceptually, increase awareness of how your traumatic experiences have impacted you, and refine how you interpret your experience by applying new meaning to it.

  • Forward Facing Trauma Therapy

    This approach emphasizes that trauma manifests in multiple ways, creating a physiological and mental stress response that keeps you reliving the trauma present day in various ways. The goal here is to help you gain awareness of your current trauma responses, learn self regulation skills to calm your nervous system and disrupt the body’s physiological threat response as you process your trauma. This will help you decrease your distress levels, symptoms of PTSD, and improve your overall well-being.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

    This approach helps you learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with your emotions. It emphasizes a need to accept that these feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations and don’t have to prevent you from being able to move forward in your life. Accepting the challenges in your current reality will help you to commit to making the necessary changes in your behavior regardless of your internal feelings and external circumstances.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

    This approach focuses on one’s ability to change or accept their circumstances through four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The intention here is increasing self awareness and acquiring skills to help you manage and/or overcome urges to engage in maladaptive behaviors, while improving the state of your current circumstances.

  • Solution Focused Therapy

    This approach puts emphasis on dealing with your present rather than your past, and finding effective solutions to your problems. The focus here is creating a better present and future by becoming more equipped to resolve problems in a realistic, timely, and sufficient manner. This is a strengths based approach that greatly requires a willingness to change.
