My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Using a solution-focused approach, I help you quickly address your immediate needs by focusing on your strengths and resources rather than dwelling on problems. This positive, goal-oriented method empowers you to envision a clearer, more hopeful future and take practical steps toward achieving it. Together, we’ll build on what’s already working in your life to create meaningful change and lasting progress—helping you move forward with confidence and purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with you to reduce psychological distress by helping you better understand and manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Throughout our sessions, we’ll use practical techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and effective coping strategies tailored to your unique needs. This collaborative approach empowers you to develop lasting skills for greater emotional well-being and resilience.

Strength-Based

In using a strength-based approach, it empowers you to recognize and build upon your existing strengths and resources. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, resilience, and positive change. In my practice, I work collaboratively to highlight your unique abilities and past successes, using these as a foundation to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. By focusing on your strengths, we create a supportive and motivating environment where you can develop confidence, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being. Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, or life transitions, my approach is designed to help you unlock your potential and thrive.

Motivational Interviewing

I utilize Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative and client-centered approach that helps you tap into your own motivation and strengths to create meaningful change. This method respects your autonomy and focuses on exploring your values and goals, empowering you to overcome ambivalence and take actionable steps toward the life you want. In our work together, I’ll support you in identifying your personal strengths and building confidence, while gently guiding you through the process of change at your own pace. Whether you’re working to manage stress, improve relationships, or achieve other personal goals, Motivational Interviewing offers a respectful and encouraging space to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
