Ideal clients
As a clinician I take a client centered approach with it comes to my clients and it has helped me work with clients of various ages. I have experience working with clients of ages 5-75, couples, families and individuals. I personally enjoy working with clients that struggle with depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, parenting, postpartum issues, and stressors related to life changes. My ultimate goal is to make sure therapy is effective and a safe place for my clients.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT for about 5 years to treat clients. CBT can help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, relationship issues, and etc. Clients can learn how to change negative thinking patterns and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My second favorite modality is DBT and I’ve used it to treat clients that have Bipolar, difficulty regulating emotions, co-occurring disorders, and suicidal ideation. The basis of DBT is a client is doing their best and needs to change.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
CPT is a structured, trauma‑focused treatment that targets “stuck points” — maladaptive beliefs about the trauma, self, others, and the world. Typical outcomes: reduced PTSD symptoms, less distress and avoidance, improved functioning, and more adaptive beliefs.
Motivational Interviewing
Through the use of empathic, nonjudgmental listening and strategic questions MI helps explore ambivalence and boost intrinsic motivation. It helps clients weigh options, resolve mixed feelings, and state personal reasons for change.
