Life is a journey of ebbs and flows. Sometimes we get, or feel, lost along the way, and that's okay. It's actually the natural way of things. Though there is wisdom in the saying, “This too shall pass", it doesn't mean that you go through the challenges of life on your own. Fostering connection and greater insight is the heart of my inspiration toward helping others discover themselves and the world around them with greater clarity and sense of well-being. Clients that gravitate toward my style and approach are often navigating symptoms of depression and anxiety while seeking healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Nothing is better than feeling entirely accepted by another person who genuinely listens to your story without judgment. Your friends and family serve a vital role in your mental health, but everyone can benefit from an outside professional perspective. After working in the mental health field for the last eight years, it has become apparent to me that the unique and intentional conversations that occur during therapy will increase the quality of your life and cement your peace of mind.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
