Structural Family Therapy

I was specifically a family based clinician for 3 years drawing from the SFT model that helps identify and shift patterns that may be keeping a family "stuck". Together, the families and I would look at how roles, boundaries, and communication styles within the family were impacting relationships or contributing to a members' struggles. using the model, I was able to help families interact in new ways. The goal was to always empower families to become more cohesive, resilient, and supportive of each other. While in outpatient therapy, I continue to still utilize this model in family therapy, family conflict, parent/child conflic in therapy.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have studied and utilized DBT in my work for over a decade. DBT is an evidence based approach that help individuals manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and make more effective choices. It is an approach that has many skills that are useful on a daily basis and are beneficial in life overall. I work with clients to validate your experiences while also building practical skills to cope, communicate and regulate emotions more effectively. This is my most used therapeutic approach.

Reality Therapy

I use Reality Therapy to help clients take control of their lives by focusing on the choices they make and how those choices impact their relationships, goals, and overall well-being. I always help people understand that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can choose how we respond. My goal in using this approach is to support you in making more intentional choices that align with your values and lead to meaningful change. It's an approach that I find is very relatable to my clients, and helpful.
