Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I teach and guide you through simple and powerful mindfulness practices that will help you gain greater control over your attention, reduce stress, foster compassion, and come to deeper insights during times of self-reflection.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help you become more aware of how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all interrelated throughout your experiences. The focus becomes finding ways to change even just one point on the thought-emotion-behavior triangle, so that you can positively impact the others.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I feel strongly rooted in the principles of person-centered therapy- specifically, a commitment to authenticity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard (a non-judgmental attitude) towards the people I'm working with.
Motivational Interviewing
When I worked as a substance use disorder counselor, motivational interviewing became an important tool in understanding client behaviors- and finding ways to move clients towards positive change.
Strength-Based
Getting clients to identify the strengths and resources they already possess and make use of them to fulfil needs and wants is essential to positive change. A strengths-based outlook on therapy is closely tied to my training as a social worker.
