My Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most common and best studied forms of talk therapy - it helps people understand how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors.. The exact treatment approaches used will depend on the illness or problem to be treated, but the basic idea behind the therapy is always the same: What we think, how we behave, and how other people make us feel are all closely related – and they all affect our wellbeing. Cognitive therapy is about forming a clear idea of your own thoughts, attitudes and expectations. The goal is to recognize and change false and distressing beliefs, helping people learn to replace these thought patterns with more realistic and less harmful thoughts. It also helps people think more clearly and control their own thoughts better.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-based therapy is a form of psychotherapy focused on repairing insecure, early-life attachments with caregivers to develop healthier adult relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. It helps individuals explore how childhood experiences shape current relationships, often addressing trauma, anxiety, and depression by fostering a secure, trustworthy therapeutic relationship

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices that include present moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises.

Schema Therapy

Schema therapy was developed for use in the treatment of personality disorders and other chronic conditions such as long-term depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. It helps individuals identify and change deep-rooted, maladaptive "schemas" (core beliefs) formed in childhood by using experiential, cognitive, and behavioral techniques to meet core emotional needs. Schema therapy is often utilized when patients relapse or fail to respond after having been through other therapies (for example, traditional CBT). 

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP)

​KAP combines low-dose ketamine with professional therapy to treat treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. It uses ketamine's dissociative properties to enhance emotional processing and neuroplasticity, allowing for rapid, sometimes lasting, improvements in mood and psychological insight. 

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a type of talking therapy based on CBT but specially adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely. While CBT focuses on helping you change unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving, DBT takes those CBT ideas or challenging unhelpful thought patterns and adds four core skills (mindfulness, acceptance & distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness) to give you more tools for dealing with hard situations. Dialectical (the D is DBT) meets opposites, and comes from the idea of combining two of those ideas - change and acceptance.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

EFCT is a structured, evidence-based approach to couples counseling, typically lasting 8–20 sessions, designed to improve emotional bonds by creating a secure attachment. Based on attachment theory, it helps partners de-escalate negative interaction cycles and foster better communication. It boasts high success rates (70–90%) in reducing distress and repairing relationships

Jungian Therapy

Jungian Therapy is an in-depth, analytical form of talk therapy designed to bring together the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind to help a person feel balanced and whole. Jungian therapy calls for clients to look at the “real” self rather than the self they present to the outside world. Although I do not use all of the techniques,  Jungian Therapy is useful for bringing up what is just below our conciousness that can drive behaviors.

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy is a philosophical, client-centered approach focused on helping individuals find meaning, purpose, and authentic self-awareness amidst life's inherent challenges. It emphasizes free will, personal responsibility, and confronting "givens" like mortality and isolation. Instead of diagnosing symptoms, it treats anxieties related to life transitions, freedom, and the search for purpose. It's often useful for patients who experience existential threat or dread when security and identity feel in peril.

AstroPsychology

AstroPsychology combines traditional astrology with modern depth psychology, focusing on using birth charts to understand personality, motivations, and conscious evolution. It uses planetary, sign and house positions and aspects to diagnose inner conflicts, developmental stages, and psychological needs.
