My goal is to create a space of security to ensure that my clients are able to tap into their inner selves. Therapy is an opportunity to shut out all the loud noises and distractions that ask us to be someone else and prioritize other’s priorities. It gives us a chance to dig into ourselves, find out who we are while simultaneously discovering our specific automatic tendencies that hold us back. I enjoy the interactive dynamic, analyzing and delving into the areas that are going well and those that are preventing true happiness.

It can be difficult to manage strong emotions, particularly in times of transition and stress. It may also be hard to seek help, even from a trained therapist. That is why I work to create a judgment free and inviting space where clients feel comfortable and welcome to join me in tackling their problems. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors on issues related to relationships, stress management, mindfulness, life transitions, coping strategies, assertiveness, emotion regulation, and more. It is my job to help you take that first step towards making positive change in your life.

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.
