Counseling Services

I have an integrative approach to counseling in that I draw from different evidence-based therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment for clients. I value developing a supportive relationship with my clients and offer a safe non-judgemental environment. I take the time to really listen to my clients' concerns in order to understand their experiences and desires. I offer education about specific symptoms and explain what types of treatment or strategies might help their situation and why. I share strategies to alleviate symptoms and change problematic patterns. I also provide methods to structure goals into manageable action steps.

 

I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also incorporate motivational interviewing, mindfulness, brief solution-focused strategies, and positive psychology practices. I monitor client progress towards their goals regularly during sessions in order to inform treatment strategies. My skill set is particularly specialized to work with children, teens, and young adults.
