Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Through CBT I help clients create a structured, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes collaboration in the therapeutical relationship. We work together to explore tools the client needs to manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize MI also as a collaborative, empathetic approach that empowers my clients to find their own reasons for change and to take ownership of their journey. We explore reasons for change to take place including analyzing ambivalence and resistance.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT helps clients build on their strengths as they explore goals. As a therapist I help clients focus on solutions and achievable goals rather than dwelling on problems.
