My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

A counseling approach designed to help people find the motivation to make a positive behavior change. This client-centered approach is particularly effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

Focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Use of meditation, relaxation and awareness exercises to help focus on the present moment, aiming over time to experience day to day situations and stressors in nonjudgmental and non-reactionary ways.

Strength-Based

Therapists help clients recognize and appreciate their strengths to maintain or increase their sense of wellbeing
