• We'll explore what actionable steps you can take to feel better.

I utilize specific interventions for the following:  

·Affairs and betrayals of trust using the Baucom, Snyder, & Gordon model. This is a three-phase treatment model that will first focus on "softening the blow" and minimizing further damage to the relationship, then giving meaning to what happened, and lastly deciding how to move foward. 

·Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while identifing cognitive disortions including mindreading, personalzing, catastrophizing, and all-or-nothing thinking. (Evidence based treatment model.)

·CPT: Cognitive Processing Therapy to address trauma and PTSD. (Evidence based treatment model.) CPT is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps patients learn how to modify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma. It is generally delivered over 12 sessions. The American Psychological Association Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of PTSD "strongly recommends" CPT for adult patients with PTSD.

·ERP: Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD (Evidence based treatment model.) Frequently called the "gold standard" treatment for OCD, ERP helps you to practice confronting the situations that trigger uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and sensations while learning new ways to cope without utilzing compulsive actions, avoidance, or thinking behaviors.

·Gottman Institute Bringing Baby Home parenting and relational support, including the transition to parenthood, maternal well-being, moving from "me to we," attachment and bonding, emotion coaching, and compassionate responses to sleep struggles, crying and tantrums.

·Gottman Style Couples Counseling, including increasing understanding surrounding conflict, building constructive communication tools, managing differing lifestyles and personalities, emotional intimacy, creating shared hopes and dreams, decreasing contempt, resent, and criticism. I am experienced working with couples in which one person has OCD.

·Positive parenting of toddlers, children, and teens intended to increase positive interactions and cooperation, implementing healthy boundaries and rules, sleep hygiene, finding positive ways to relieve stress, supporting children to regulate their emotions, and using discipline to teach instead of punish.

·Post-partum support including exploring the existential triggers of parenthood, establishing self-care plans and strategies that support parental well-being, and gaining comfort and confidence with challenges including infant crying.

·SPACE: Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions (Parent-focused participation to address child anxiety gernerally delivered over 12 sessions.)  SPACE was developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center and has been found to be effective in randomized controlled clinical trials. (Evidence based treatment model.)
