Treatment Approach
Types of Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we explore three interconnected factors that affect mental health and recognize that positive changes in one can lead to improvements in others: thoughts, feelings/emotions, and behaviors/environment. With a mindfulness-based approach, we add the factor of awareness to see the bigger picture of ourselves and make these changes without self-judgment and shame.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
In ACT, we take a new stance toward our thoughts and emotions: acceptance. ACT is all about giving up the fight against negative thoughts and feelings because, often, the struggle not to feel a certain way causes us the most pain and leaves us drained of energy. We can take that newfound energy to create a life that aligns with our values and offers psychological flexibility to manage difficult times.
Coaching
If you're already motivated for change but feeling stuck on how I am here to support you. Together, we can work on anything and everything, from setting goals and priorities to changing unhelpful habits. I've been working in human services since 2015 and have learned a lot about what science says about human flourishing; I bring a wealth of tools to support your personal growth. Together, we will identify priorities, explore new strategies, and help you maintain consistency in your self-improvement journey.
