Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: “I use an approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps individuals build concrete skills to manage difficult thoughts or behaviors. For example, to reduce the stress and anxiety you've been feeling recently, we might focus on increasing awareness of where you are when these emotions arise and examining how your thought patterns change during stressful times. We'll practice coping skills, such as how to reframe these negative thoughts, and I'll give you strategies to try outside of session, so we can ensure the work we do here is applicable to your daily life and ultimately helps you tackle stress on your own."
Psychodynamic therapy: “I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, which means our sessions focus on understanding and processing past events and how they’re affecting you now. You mentioned you're interested in discussing relationship challenges you're experiencing with your family. In addition to working to overcome the specific communication barriers you're dealing with now, we'll also look at what's going on beneath the surface, and how patterns and expectations developed in the past may be influencing your current relationships. The goal is to reach a point of understanding so that when these communication issues arise in the future, you'll be better equipped with knowledge of the roots of the problem and be able to have more compassion for yourself and everyone involved."
