Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT with my clients for 12+ years. It’s helped a lot of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Strength-Based

I've been using Strength-Based therapy techniques for quite some time now. It involves placing more of an emphasis on your strengths and survival skills than on your weaknesses. In therapy, you will retell your personal history of trauma, stressors, and pain with more of an emphasis on yourself as a survivor than as a victim.

Positive Psychology

I've been interested in the Positive Psychology approach since I was in high school. This type of therapy focuses on the positive aspects of human life, such as happiness, strengths, and fulfillments, rather than solely on pathology and mental illness.

Interpersonal

I've been helping clients with relationship concerns for many years now. Interpersonal therapy focuses on interpersonal problems, not past experiences, and aims to improve communication, social support, and overall interpersonal functioning.

Motivational Interviewing

This type of therapy is often used with substance use, but it's affective for many other concerns. Motivational Interviewing's goal is to elicit and support a person's motivation for change. In therapy, you will be empowered to identify and vocalize your reasons for making positive changes in your life.
