Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In our sessions the focus is on the examining the thoughts and beliefs that are motivating the behavior instead of the behavior itself. Through the use of talk therapy, we will work together to learn to utilizes skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness among others.
Strength-Based
Each of us is a unique individual with strengths and weaknesses. I look forward to helping adults find the strengths that have helped make them the person they are today. That search includes looking for the strengths that brought each person to the wonder and beauty of their personhood. Even in our weaknesses, there is a special person working to figure out how to be the best of themself.
Faith-based therapy
I was a religious educator or over 20 years prior to attending college to get both my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work degrees and as the widow of a Catholic Deacon, I recognize that faith or belief in something greater than ourself, by whatever name we choose to give or faith we choose to follow, can be a comfort and support in our journey to become the best of who we are able to be.
