Person-centered

About
Modalities I Use
These approaches are structured, practical, and designed to create lasting change.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Focuses on identifying strengths and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It helps clients clarify goals and take small, meaningful steps toward change in a relatively short period of time.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
An evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD that helps clients examine and reframe unhelpful beliefs that developed after difficult experiences. It supports healing by changing how trauma is understood and integrated.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps clients recognize and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, stress, or low self-worth. It provides practical tools to create healthier responses and more balanced perspectives.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative approach that helps clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It supports individuals in identifying their own reasons for growth and building confidence to take action.
