According to the need, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
I believe that knowledge is power in all areas of life. Acquiring knowledge to an area of life that is challenging will be the greatest power that will influence the change and provide the assistance to manage the concern. I can help you with the beginning steps to healing and recovery of your authentic self. I will work with you as person centered - you will lead by identifying the problem - like putting the information in the GPS and I will be the voice to help you get to your destination.

Sometimes the decision to speak with someone to get some clarity can cause us some stress. I believe that therapy is a great way of expressing oneself without feeling judged or criticized for his/her thoughts, feelings or behaviors. I believe that there are noble intent in every response; negative or positive. Given the opportunity to discuss and come up with interventions that will address the struggles will be our main focus.

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.
