Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
What if I told you that your mind doesn’t prioritize your happiness? Its main focus is on survival. If that means staying in bed all day or avoiding social interactions, it will encourage those choices. But eventually, you might wonder: Is this the life I truly want?
ACT teaches us that we can choose a life driven by values rather than just survival instincts. Despite our fears, we are capable of amazing things. We can live a meaningful life that embraces our values, even when faced with discomfort.
I understand the courage it takes to engage in therapy and treat every individual with respect and compassion. I see every opportunity to work with a client as a profound honor and find great joy in helping others navigate their journey towards a purposeful and connected life.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is highly pragmatic and directly applicable to everyday life. I will guide you through specific steps to navigate distressing feelings and experiences. DBT breaks down complex processes that we often overlook, addressing essential skills like saying no to others, setting and maintaining boundaries, and learning to slow down when emotions run high. Together, we will equip you with practical tools to manage life's challenges and enhance your emotional well-being.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) is considered the gold standard for treating obsessive and compulsive disorder (OCD) and phobias. This evidence-based practice is backed by extensive research, demonstrating its effectiveness in helping individuals overcome their fears. Many find relief in as few as 5-6 sessions, making ERP a swift and impactful approach to reclaiming control over their lives.
