Therapy Models and Approaches
​Therapy comes in many forms, tailored to different needs and backgrounds. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles, therapy will be tailored to your unique needs, with an emphasis on individual strengths and cultural background. From individuals to couples and across diverse age groups—adults and mature adults (55+)—these approaches offer valuable tools to navigate life’s challenges, all while respecting the rich diversity that shapes who you are.

I am specially trained in the following approaches: Trauma-informed therapy, Feedback-informed Therapy, Core Communication, and Gottman Couples Therapy.
Additional Therapy Models and Approaches
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a popular approach that helps people reframe negative thoughts to improve behaviors, often used for anxiety and depression.
Trauma-focused
And when it comes to overcoming the impact of traumatic experiences, Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for healing.
IPT
Interpersonal Therapy and Reality Therapy focus more on relationships and communication, ideal for people working through relationship problems, grief, or those seeking a more hands-on, practical approach to making better life choices.
Psycho-
dynamic
If you’re interested in exploring the root of long-standing emotional patterns, Psychodynamic Therapy can help unearth past experiences that affect your present, especially if you're dealing with deep-seated trauma.
Strengths-
based
Strength-Based Therapy is all about highlighting your personal resilience and building on what's already working, which is especially empowering for adults and older adults navigating major life changes.
CFT
Compassion-Focused Therapy works wonders for those struggling with self-criticism or trauma, encouraging self-kindness.
Culturally Sensitive
For people from diverse backgrounds, Culturally Sensitive Therapy takes cultural nuances into account, making sure therapy respects their unique identities.
Person Centered or Rogerian
Similarly, Person-Centered Therapy gives clients a safe, empathetic space to explore their feelings, which is especially important for those dealing with grief, anxiety, or challenges related to marginalization.
