My treatment methods

Strength-Based

There is always strengths in a person even if you are not aware of them and I will work with you to highlight and underscore yours.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Thoughts are very powerful and correlate with behavior. Thoughts can be medicinal and as effective as medicine.

Faith based therapy

Faith is a component of a well rounded treatment and should be incorporated into treatment to maximize wellbeing.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic or insight oriented therapy stems from upbringing and how thoughts, behaviors, communication and interactions are programmed in you from a young age. Sometimes those patterns can be maladaptive but fear not because what is learned can be unlearned.
