With over 20 years of experience, I empower clients by teaching coping skills, identifying distorted thinking and triggers, and equipping them with tools to connect with their inner strength. My approach is calm, empathetic, client-led, trauma-informed, and Strengths-Based. If clients are open, I use interventions like CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, meditation, and motivational interviewing. I also prescribe adjunct therapies such as yoga, movie therapy, and bibliotherapy to complement the therapeutic process.
If my client is open to trying different interventions, I am well-versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness, Meditation, and Motivational Interviewing.
