Reality Therapy

‘Reality therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on problem-solving and making better choices in order to achieve specific goals. Reality therapy is focused on the here and now rather than the past’

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

‘Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). The patient populations for which DBT has the most empirical support include parasuicidal women with borderline personality disorder (BPD), but there have been promising findings for patients with BPD and substance use disorders (SUDs), persons who meet criteria for binge-eating disorder, and depressed elderly patients’

Positive Psychology

‘Positive psychology is the study of happiness, flourishing, and what makes life worth living. Together, we will consider five factors as leading to well-being — positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning and purpose, and accomplishment’

Christian Counseling

‘I am a Christian. I believe that faith can provide support, encouragement, instill hope, teach forgiveness, provide tolerance, assist with change, fill the gaps of brokenness, complete our individual purpose, motivate, and diminish stress in our lives’

Compassion Focused (CFT)

‘Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) aims to help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging people in treatment to be compassionate toward themselves and other people. Compassion, both toward the self and toward others, is an emotional response believed by many to be an essential aspect of well-being’

Culturally Sensitive

‘Culturally sensitive therapy emphasizes understanding of your background, ethnicity, and belief system. I incorporate cultural sensitivity into my work to accommodate and respect differences in opinions, values, and attitudes of various cultures and different types of people’

Existential

‘Existential psychotherapy is a style of therapy that places emphasis on the human condition as a whole. 

Existential psychotherapy uses a positive approach that applauds human capacities and aspirations while simultaneously acknowledging human limitations’

Family Systems

‘Family systems therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals resolve their problems in the context of their family units, where many issues are likely to begin. Each family member works together with the others to better understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most important premises of family systems therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family’

Humanistic

‘Humanistic psychological therapies are based on the premise that people are ‘self-actualizing’, that is, they have an inherent tendency to develop their potential (Rogers 1951; Maslow 1970). Other defining characteristics of humanistic therapies include the belief that people are self-aware, are free to choose how they will live, are responsible for the choices they make, and are unique entities that need to be understood in the context of their individual experiences and characteristics (Cain 2002).

Integrative

‘Integrative therapy is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client. With an understanding of normal human development, I will modify standard treatments to fill in development gaps that affect each client in different ways. By combining elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory and research, integrative therapy becomes a more flexible and inclusive approach to treatment than more traditional, singular forms of psychotherapy’

Motivational Interviewing

‘Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes’

Multicultural

‘People who seek counseling come from different walks of life and from different backgrounds. Multicultural counseling is the ability to approach counseling through the context of the client's world. This is pivotal in achieving results through appropriate interventions and building a strong therapeutic relationship’

Person-Centered

‘Person-Centered Therapy is based on Rogers's belief that every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential; and places much of the responsibility for the treatment process on the client, whereby I would take a non directive role’

Strength-Based

‘Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses more on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, and less on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. Let me empower you, by assisting you, in identifying those internal strengths and resources to facilitate positive change in your life’
