My belief is that each client who comes to therapy has the internal desire or capability to become a better version of themselves. Because of this, I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach as the foundation of how I interact with clients. My ultimate goal is to increase the clients' efficacy by reinforcing their strengths and also teaching them the skills to help them achieve their desired goals. I incorporate an eclectic approach, utilizing a combination of mindfulness-based techniques, as well as cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused based practices.
