Approach to Therapy:
My approach to therapy comes from a strengths based view - working with the client to further develop the skills they already possess. I lean towards a solution-oriented framework, helping clients to look to the present and the future to develop goals and find solutions to achieving them. I combine different modalities to best serve the needs of the client including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and resilience work. Most importantly though, my focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client and walking alongside them in their therapeutic journey.
Approach to Wellness:
I believe that wellness can accompany all aspects of life. Recharging my own battery includes spending time outdoors, hanging out with my cats, reading, and listening to music. I am also a big believer in the importance of rest and nourishing our bodies!
