Evidence-Based Modalities: I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster psychological flexibility, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for goal-oriented progress.
In-Session Application: During our sessions, these methods are not just theoretical; they are active tools. For instance, in a typical session, we might map out a CBT thought record together to dissect a recent anxiety trigger, or practice mindfulness-based grounding techniques in real-time to manage acute stress.
Consistency with Treatment Modalities: I maintain strict consistency across all modalities by ensuring that your personalized psychotherapy goals directly inform your psychopharmacological (medication management) plan. If we are using ACT to address trauma, your medical management will carefully align to support your nervous system without blunting your emotional processing.
Described Experience: Drawing from years of clinical experience managing diverse patient populations spanning acute inpatient psychiatric units to outpatient community health I understand that medication is often only one piece of the puzzle. My background has taught me to look beyond symptoms to treat the whole person, respecting your unique lifestyle, background, and personal autonomy.
