ADULT PSYCHOTHERAPY
My approach to adult psychotherapy is tailored to each individual's needs, drawing from psychodynamic therapy to explore past influences on present challenges, cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and coping skills.
My approach centers around the needs of each client and combines techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior approaches. Psychodynamic therapy with adults is a type of psychotherapy that uses talk to help adults understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that our adult personality is shaped by our childhood experiences. Psychodynamic therapy can help adults with a variety of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that helps people identify their negative thoughts and behaviors, and replace them with more positive and constructive ones. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected, and that by changing one, we can change the others. CBT is often used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy that teaches people skills to help them manage their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve their relationships. DBT is often used to treat people with borderline personality disorder, but it can also be helpful for people with other mental health conditions.
