My Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as understanding the holistic mind/body connection.

 

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people's difficulties, and so change the way they feel, and ultimately behave.

During the counseling process, I educate clients about the causes of depression, anxiety and unhealthy emotions. We work together to change unhealthy patterns of thinking which, in turn, change the unhealthy emotions and behaviors.

​

CBT is an evidence-based practice that allows both the client and therapist to measure its effectiveness.
