If you are experiencing obstacles in your life and want to make positive changes in your decision making and the quality of your relationships, it may be the right time to seek the guidance of a psychologist.
I integrate complimentary methodologies and techniques to offer a high personalized approach tailored to each client.
I work primarily with a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy orientation (CBT), which is a present-oriented psychotherapy directed toward solving current problems and teaching skills to modify unhelpful or dysfunctional thinking and behavior.
CBT is applicable to almost every problem for which people seek psychotherapy and brings symptom reduction and/or relief in a relatively short period of time.
In addition, clients acquire coping skills to manage emotional distress and, ultimately, to make positive changes in their lives.
Therapy will also focus on the dynamics of your interpersonal relationships, including the therapeutic relationship when appropriate, to identify patterns which may be obstacles in your relationships.
With compassion and understanding, I will work with you to help build on your strengths and attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing.
Sessions are 50 minutes and typically held once a week. Factors that influence time spent in treatment may include the nature and severity of symptoms, motivation to improve, and/or specific individual goals.
“Booster sessions” oftentimes are useful to clients once they have finished regular treatment as a continuation of care in order to help maintain improvement and minimize the re-occurrence of symptoms.
