I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. I have specialized training in the area of alcohol and substance use. In your first session, we will explore what your top goals for treatment are. With CBT, we identify how your thoughts and behavior affect your emotions and experiences. We then find a plan to tackle those thoughts and work towards your values.
