Counseling Services

I apply 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 and non-judgmental environment. I take the time to really listen to my clients' concerns 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. In session, we will practice these strategies and apply accountability strategies so that you apply these new skills outside of the office and in the real world.  I also provide methods to structure goals into manageable action steps.

 

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