Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
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
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
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 Processing Therapy
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.
