I particularly value self-motivated clients committed to making positive changes and actively engaged in the therapeutic process.
I have a simple approach to therapy: “No one has it all figured out and we all are just winging it”. What that means to me is that, without effective strategies, we are just doing the best we can every day. It is about taking the small moments and recognizing that those small moments build into bigger ones. It is the lens that we view the problem that must be transformed, so we can see ourselves as capable to be the definer of our own life. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches to create individualized plans to move your forward in your therapy goals.
