Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My goal is to teach individuals that it is possible to have control over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by challenging your automatic beliefs and using practical strategies to change or modify your behavior.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My experience in using DBT has been to teach others new skills to help them learn to regulate their emotions.
Motivational Interviewing
By applying motivational interviewing in my practice, I help individuals explore their readiness to change, help them clarify and set goals as well as empower them to initiate change in their own lives.
Strength-Based
Implementing strength-based therapy helps individuals identify their strengths and improve resilience.
