At the moment my main focus is on helping clients recover from trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD with online therapy.
I have been certified in CBT by Albert Ellis, DBT by Marsha Linehan, EMDR by Francine Shapiro, EFT, Existential Therapy, Acceptance, and Commitment Therapy by Udemy, Trauma therapy as well as Individual Clinical Complex PTSD and PTSD therapy by the Arizona Trauma institute and Hypnotherapy by HCH institute.
My focus is a combination of Cognitive behavioral psychodynamic and humanistic and I integrate many approaches, including NLP and Gestalt.
I learned from my practice that most of my clients suffer from Complex PTSD due to a difficult childhood marked by abuse or neglect. This is why I start by exploring their childhood in great detail to assess them for thought distortions, self-esteem issues, attachment issues, schemas, etc. I studied for a year with Albert Ellis in New York City and was certified as a Rational Emotive Therapist by the latter. This approach is now called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
