My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for over 15 years, which has helped me understand the connection between my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT has been a valuable tool for reframing patterns and supporting overall well-being.
Motivational Interviewing
I have been using Motivational Interviewing for the past 15 years to help people uncover their own motivation and confidence to change. It’s a respectful, client-centered approach that works especially well with addiction and other behavior changes.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I’m trained in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps people build on their strengths and create practical solutions for meaningful change.

I really like the tone of her voice. It was very soothing. It was like I was talking to someone who was actively listening. I look forward to better understanding her approach to my scenario and allow her to guide me with techniques that will help improve my situation. Sometimes I get lost in all the confusion in my head and having someone such as Miss Dearborn to help me slow down listen before reacting we will really be beneficial to my future
