Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
My primary therapeutic orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In my work with clients, I assist them in identifying connections between triggers, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and physical sensations. Once we develop an understanding of patterns which are contributing to difficulties, we can identify opportunities to disrupt these patterns and create healthier habits.
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
This intervention involves assisting clients with facing their fears without attempting to neutralize obsessive thoughts by engaging in compulsions. I regularly use this technique to assist clients with OCD and other anxiety-related disorders.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
I also frequently incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my work with clients. ACT is a type of therapy that helps clients use strategies to focus on the present moment while accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment. Acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action towards values are important components of this approach.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
This treatment involves short-term, structured therapy interventions to address thoughts and behaviors that maintain chronic insomnia. The aim is to improve overall sleep quality with strategies like sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive restructuring.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that involves assisting clients with identifying thoughts and beliefs that have interfered with healing from a traumatic event. CPT includes engaging in written assignments to help process trauma and challenge upsetting thoughts and beliefs related to the trauma.
