My Therapuetic Approach

The most valuable aspect of the therapeutic process is a trusting and collaborative relationship with your counselor. My approach is to help you reach the outcomes that are most helpful and important to you, while achieving a greater sense of fulfillment and a more effective way of coping with life’s stressors.

​

I use evidence-based practice that entails a clinical assessment so that the client and therapist both understand the current issues and then choose the best course of treatment needed. My therapy sessions will entail both goal oriented and skills-based approaches. I have over 19 years of experience and expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and commitment therapy, Substance Abuse, Anger Management and Motivational Interviewing techniques.

During treatment, I focus on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, so they can begin to make targeted change. We will work on strengthening your motivation and movement towards change in order to meet your goals. In treatment, I work on getting clients to explore any discrepancy between your goals and your current actions or in-actions. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental to help build trust in a safe environment and meet the clients where they are and establish where they want to go. Throughout treatment clients will works on processing their emotions around current stressors, identifying triggers that lead to their symptoms and using appropriate coping methods in times of increased stress.
