The focus of my approach is strengths-based and person-centered as I believe in your capacity for self-awareness, wholeness, freedom of choice, and inner-direction. I believe therapy is a courageous and collaborative process that is built upon the relationship between therapist and client. Understanding that change is hard and each client is unique, I often integrate a variety of counseling techniques as there is no one approach that may work best for everyone. Many of the techniques used come from the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Gestalt approach to counseling as well as Person-Centered and Motivational Interviewing styles.
