Strength-Based

Building on a person's strengths gives us the opportunity to assist you to identify your strengths and use them in new ways possibly. We can use a new response to a situation. As long as we respect one another's experience we can aide in the resolution of any unwanted emotions or possibly change your perspective about things that are no longer impacting you positively. Our goal is that your work all culminates in the changes you wish to see in your life and your being, leaving you to live the life you designed.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Knowledge is power and with CBT you can gain much power over your perceptions. The way we view the world all evolved around us and in our heart and minds we want change but we "feel stuck, over-think, obsess, worry, and generally stress ourselves out". I have found CBT extremely helpful with all types of conditions, but it helps greatly with recovery from just about anything.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In the years I have practiced one thing is definite. No change happens unless you think you need to change. I am powerless. I cannot change anyone. You do the work for yourself. I am just along to support you and help you navigate your way through your emotional life.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Using an eclectic blend of the above modalities, or a patchwork of tips, tricks, and skills, we build an individualized care plan with all the coping strategies needed to progress on your journey. Together we will work to assure you are prepared for life and the issues that come with it by being prepared through practice and mindful reflection on situations and your reactions in real time.
