I use a collaborative and empathetic approach to help my clients explore their thoughts and feelings surrounding their experiences. I use active listening and open-ended questions that give my clients space to safely explore and express their motivations, barriers, and ambivalences. I believe that this non-judgmental approach helps you to create your own solutions through finding your own strengths, which increases motivation for change.

I provide a client-centered approach to CBT through active listening and validation of my clients' experiences. I help client to identify cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviors, then challenge these thought patterns and work on reframing through the use of coping strategies. I believe that using guided discussion can move conversations into the development of coping strategies and problem-solving skills. This empowers clients to use self-awareness to create positive change.

I provide a space for clients to explore, identify, and shift unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that fuel conflict hurt, or withdrawal in relationships. I help my clients to map patterns of interactions, test assumptions through thought experiments, and increase effective communication that promotes a cycle of change in interpersonal issues that my clients experience. I focus on strengthening mutual understanding and emotional connection to encourage my clients to apply their tools interpersonally.

I help my clients struggling with anger management issues through empathy and by honoring their autonomous experiences. I help explore values and perspectives of change, identify triggers as well as unhelpful thoughts, and use this information as a path into reframing and thought experiments. I help clients practice skills training that focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, assertive non-violent communication, and problem-solving. I apply collaborative and practical approaches.

I help clients struggling with addiction through motivational interviewing and engagement of a twelve-step, SMART Recovery approach. I help identify intrinsic motivations and mixed feelings that coincide with the path to recovery. I tailor treatment to meet the client where they are at, non-judgmentally and collaboratively. I focus on goal-setting, harm reduction, and sustainability.
