VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a go-to favorite to identify negative thoughts and behaviors to challenge them and make improvements in functioning.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I love DBT because of its emphasis on interpersonal skills and radical acceptance at its core. We can’t always change the way things are but we can learn to pivot and cope.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Let’s set goals and figure out where we need to go to achieve them. Solution focused brief therapy allows us to prioritize one or two goals and hone in on making positive changes and improvements.
Strength-Based
We want to focus on empowering you, identifying your strengths and using those to move forward in your journey to recovery.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma is so unique to every individual and being trauma informed in practice is imperative.
