At its core, I implement CBT concepts because it operates on the principle that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. It addresses how negative thought patterns and the ways our thoughts spiral, can lead to distressing emotions and maladaptive behaviors. CBT aims to identify and reframe your thought patterns, thereby influencing emotional experiences and facilitating healthier reactions which will foster positive change.

I utilize many DBT concepts and skills because it combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with mindfulness techniques, offering a comprehensive approach to enhancing emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, and overall well-being. I teach people how to find and understand the balance between acceptance and change, which lies at the core of DBT's philosophy. By using this approach it emphasizes self-acceptance while also promoting your personal growth & transformation.

I use many concepts in my Trauma therapy approach to create a safe & supportive environment for individuals to process their experiences, emotions, and reactions. Central to trauma therapy is the concept of empowerment & control. You are guided to regain a sense of control over your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, allowing you to move from a state of distress and helplessness to one of resilience and healing. I like to say this allows you to stop surviving and start thriving & living freely.
