I implement therapeutic methods to instill self-understanding and encourage you to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Much of my approach in counseling is based in Reality Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to assist with change and resiliency. Therapy is a healing process. Making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based form of psychotherapy that focuses on restructuring dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior. The aim when using CBT is to help clients enhance their ability to address problems (internal and external, past, present, and future) in ways that are healthy, helpful, constructive, productive, efficient, and effective.
Reality Therapy
Reality therapy is a client-centered form of therapy that focuses on improving present relationships and circumstances, with less concern and discussion of past events. We will examine your behaviors and how they are interfering with your ability to form stronger relationships. This therapy is a form of choice therapy, which focuses on the idea that the behaviors we choose are key to our accountability and who we are. Reality therapy helps clients take control of improving their own lives by learning to make better choices.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that helps clients resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. This intervention helps people become motivated to change the behaviors that are preventing them from making healthier choices.
