I primarily use Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches in my interactions with clients.
Have you ever said to yourself, "I know I need to do this for myself....., But, I can't". Then then we come up with reasons why; "it is too scary", "I am not competent enough", "I am too tired", "it is too difficult", or maybe even, "I just don't care". We have these internal conflicts that appear in our lives almost daily, If we don't resolve these internal conflicts as they arise they become bigger and more impactful in our day to day functioning, and we can get to a point where we feel "stuck" or trapped in our own lives. We can even get so stuck we start avoiding basic human needs.

I am also informed in mind body bridging, TF-CBT, and motivational interviewing.
Pain from trauma does not need to rule your life, nor does trauma always come from a catastrophic event. Often my clients come to me in pain, feeling lost and suffering with symptoms of anxiety and depression. During therapy, I often hear, “I finally have space in my head to think and energy to do the things I want to do.” Therapy is at its best when you are listened to in a deeper way. I have been told by clients that they feel I “make room” for them with a kind and personal approach. Imagine yourself feeling lighter, feeling joy, and having more energy. It is possible.

Although I believe that the goals of therapy are always first and foremost determined by my clients, I generally hold the hope for each of them that they will find more joy in life. To that end, I believe in an eclectic theoretical approach, one that draws on a wide range of perspectives including humanist/existential philosophy, Jungian psychodynamics, trauma-informed and client-centered practice, because I believe people are eclectic. Because I have both personal and professional experience with this work, I view the relationship between client and therapist as central and fundamental to the therapeutic process being effective.

Life seems to have a way of throwing curveballs that even with best effort and resources aren’t resolvable on one’s own. Therapy can be a place to understand and work through the sticky issues. It is a way to: build resilience, develop or learn new skills, challenge perspectives/ thinking patterns, grieve, change behaviors, align behaviors with values and move toward positive change.

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.
