Treatment Modalities

We will start where you are, with what bothers you the most. You can examine your current roles and relationships, as well as your background. Through the work of building a strong relationship in therapy, you can learn about your attachment style and identify issues that cause difficulty in relating to others.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a traditional “talk” therapy that involves conversations between the client and the therapist. It is a relational modality. It encourages open, authentic communication and trust that makes therapy possible. It is a roadmap for you to share your feelings and experiences, and for us to examine them together. With support and guidance, you can understand the painful symptoms and problem behaviors you want to change.

Evidence-Based Therapy

Modern psychotherapy research has made psychotherapy and mental health treatment more effective. Brain imaging and neuroscience have significantly increased our understanding of how this process occurs. Newer treatment modalities focus the therapeutic process on the underlying belief systems, problematic behavior patterns, and traumatic reactions that are at the core of mental health disorders and difficulty with coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective modalities and is frequently used to address a wide range of problems. As a therapist using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I will help you identify problematic patterns of thinking and their impact on your feelings and behavior. These affect your expectations of yourself and others, blocking growth and change. The goal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is to break the negative cycle that fuels mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is a model that helps you to heal trauma. We have long known that trauma plays a significant role in mental health disorders like social anxiety, panic disorder, dysthymia, and chronic pain. Trauma-informed approaches like Internal Family Systems therapy help you to explore and work through trauma. But healing trauma frees you to experience happiness, creativity, and authenticity.
