I have experience using DBT in group work with those that are Dual Diagnosis for Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders, as well as utilizing aspects of this in individual work, such as via psycho education, boundary setting, checking the facts, etc.

I attempt to utilize motivational interviewing, strength based approaches and solution based approaches to help coach individual on how to do these things for themselves.

I utilize the foundational aspects of CBT, as well as the long term individualized emotional regulation and thought challenging work that is characterized by this modality to help individuals help themselves.

I have extensive history supporting those with anxiety, and help them to address these negative thinking patterns, behavioral patterns, and coping mechanisms to live a life with manageable to almost fully diminished anxiety.

I personally have Atypical Autism, something not necessarily diagnosed to this day, however it has given me a personal insight into the struggles those on the spectrum face in having normal, functioning lives. I work to support those on the spectrum to support themselves in their work to regulating their emotions, as well as their understanding of social cues, and even coping skills, to help them with self sufficiency and autonomy.

My work ultimately strives towards this goal of personal growth. I do not ever define what this looks like; you do! My goal is solely to help you help yourself, and work with you to learn what these goals are, so you can define what this means on your own terms.
