My main techniques for helping clients are PCT (person-centered therapy) with some techniques taken from CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and SFBT (solution-focused brief therapy) to holistically address the needs of the whole person.
Life is a complicated game. I will help you implement strategies that you will be able to draw on long after our time together is done. I will approach our work together not by telling you what to do, but keeping you at the center of your story while I ride shotgun on your healing journey all while helping you reframe any negativity and stay focused on available solutions. You are not your worst thoughts and feelings, and they don’t need to hold you back. These things can be used as stepping stones to become a greater, more solid version of self. Even if you’ve been through this dark place before, we can get you through it again.
