My Therapeutic Modalities
Humanistic/ Existential
At its core, humanistic therapy honors your innate capacity for growth and self-actualization. Together, we will explore your sense of purpose, artistic capacity, cultural heritage, and family dynamics. This approach provides a supportive space to deepen your self-awareness, align with your core values, and step into the fullest expression of who you are.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
If you are struggling with intrusive, unhelpful thought patterns, CBT offers practical, goal-oriented, structured tools for change. We will work together to identify and challenge rigid thinking habits, replacing them with more flexible, grounded, and rational perspectives that serve your well-being.
Exposure Based & Integrative Models for short-term PTSD treatment
Prolonged Exposure (PE): A supportive, systematic approach that uses targeted behavioral exercises to help you safely face traumatic memories, reduce avoidance, and reclaim your life from fear.
Adaptive Disclosure Therapy: A specialized approach that uses dedicated writing prompts to address "moral injury"—the deep emotional pain, guilt, or shame that often follows traumatic events, particularly for military veterans, but also for survivors of severe betrayal or spiritual abuse. Through expressive exercises we work to promote forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation.
Mindfulness Based Behavior Therapy
Mindfulness helps us slow down and meet ourselves with greater self-compassion, presence, and non-judgment. By developing dialectical thinking—learning to hold seemingly opposing truths at once—you can cultivate acceptance while working toward positive change. This holistic approach is especially powerful for easing stress, increasing sexual satisfaction, and addressing sexual dysfunction.
Psychodynamic
Our past experiences, rituals, and early relationships shape how we navigate the present—often in ways we aren't fully aware of. Psychodynamic therapy offers a deep exploration into the subconscious meanings, symbols, and unexamined domains of your life. By bringing light to repressed or exiled parts of yourself, you can gain greater conscious control, heal old wounds, and feel more whole and harmonious.
