Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a practical, structured approach to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. In my work, I focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, especially in the context of relationships, stress and life transitions, and helping client reframe these patterns in a more balances and realistic way. I incorporate skill-building strategies such as cognitive restructuring, boundary setting and behavioral changes that clients can apply outside of sessions. My goal is to help clients develop insight along with concrete tolls that lead to measurable, lasting change.

Integrative

I use an integrative approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral attachment-based and mindfulness-based therapies to meet each client’s individual needs. I tailor treatment based on the client’s goals, focusing on identifying patterns in relationships and emotional responses, while also building practical coping skills and strategies for change. This flexible approach allows me to provide both insight and structured, goal-ooriented work that supports meaningful, lasting approach.

Attachment-based

I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationship experiences and past patterns influence their current relationships, emotional responses and sense of self. I focus on identifying patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty with boundaries and fear of conflict or abandonment and helping clients develop healthier, more secure ways of relating. This work is paired with practical strategies so clients can build stronger boundaries, improve communication and create more stable, fulfilling relationships.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help increase awareness of their thoughts, emotions and reactions without immediately judging or reacting to them. I use mindfulness techniques to support emotional regulation, reduce reactivity and help clients stay more grounded in the present moment. This approach is especially helpful in managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. It is often combined with practical strategies to support lasting change.

Christian Counseling

I offer Christian, or faith based, counseling for clients who would like to incorporate their faith into the therapy process. This may include exploring how spiritual beliefs influence thoughts, emotions and life decisions. Scripture and faith-based perspectives may be used when appropriate. My approach remains supportive and nonjudgmental, and clients are always free to determine the level of faith integration in their care.
