I will facilitate an atmosphere of warmth, support, & trust, to help you examine & change patterns or behaviors that are not working for you. A major goal of the counseling experience will be that you will be able to (a) choose new behaviors, and (b) have therapeutic support to make them work.
Client Focus
Session Format: Couple, Family, Individual sessions.
Age Specialty: Adult, Children, Senior, Teen
Languages: English, Spanish
Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: In practice since 1984, I have a practical view of counseling, & may use any of several approaches based on the needs of the individual or the situation. A cognitive-behavioral approach (my usual) helps clients to identify & change problem patterns.
