Modalities are the therapeutic methods and interventions I may use in counseling. They differ from theories, which help guide how I understand and conceptualize a client's history, experiences, and presenting concerns.
I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and integrate them according to the person, their goals, and the concerns they bring into therapy. Depending on the individual and the needs of the therapeutic process, my work may draw from the following approaches, among others:
Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Behavioral Techniques
Brief Solution-Focused Therapy
Motivational Interviewing
Relational and Emotion-Focused Approaches
Person-Centered Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy
Trauma-Informed and Somatic Approaches

My work is informed by the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person (CCMMP), which understands the human person as an integrated whole. Psychological, relational, bodily, moral, and spiritual dimensions of human experience are deeply interconnected. This framework informs how I understand suffering, healing, human dignity, and personal agency while drawing on therapeutic approaches suited to each person's needs.
