Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is a behavioral therapy that helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them, while also comitting to actions that allign with their values. I find this approach works for nearly all personal issues, and utilize it in my sessions. I also utilize other modalities, but tend to utilize ACT the most.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have been trained in DBT, and use most often with people who feel challenged by their emotions and are triggered by relationship issues.

Motivational Interviewing

This method is used most with individuals who know they need to make changes, but just are not sure if they are ready to change, or how to go about it.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I utilize mindfulness strategies with with nearly all clients, especially those experiencing anxiety and need strategies to cope and reduce their anxiety.

Eclectic

The eclectic approach utilizes multiple methods of therapy, and those methods are chosen on a case by case basis, and can change in each session. Eclectic therapy works best with therapists, like me, who have been trained in multiple approaches.
