Treatment Approach
- Behavioral
- Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
- Psychoeducational
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Approach Description: Using various evidence-based modalities and tailoring sessions to clients’ needs empowers them to drive the therapy. I will help you identify practical strategies to overcome barriers using strengths-based, solution-focused interventions and evidence-based best practices. It’s essential to understand the “why” behind the thoughts and the feelings, and I enjoy incorporating psychoeducation about brain and trauma responses when appropriate. My approach can include homework, podcasts, and other resources to support progress outside of sessions
