Golden Bear Counseling 🧸

Services

Talk Therapy

I current provide talk therapy services via the telehealth platform Grow Therapy. I am accepting all insurances available through Grow, including Husky/Medicaid.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

I use CBT skills and concepts as a basis for many therapeutic interventions. I work to help clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as the events that might spawn them. With clients who have Autism, I also help identify how physical sensations can impact feelings, and create immediate behavioral reactions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Trauma-Focused CBT is an evidence-based practice with roots in CBT techniques. I support clients in learning about trauma, identifying methods they can use to relax their bodies, identify and regulate emotions, and develop an understanding of their thoughts and the connection to feelings and behavior. With these building blocks we are able to explore a narrative of the client's trauma and process its effects on present day life.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Solution-focused work is useful when direct, task-oriented progress needs to be made. When engaging clients from a solution-focused perspective, I work to identify changes a client wishes to make in their life and help them develop concrete steps on the path to that solution.
