Finding peace through connection
The most important aspect of therapy is the connection, therefore I focus on creating a positive and trusting therapeutic environment. In this space, we can use the therapeutic relationship as a magnifying glass to better understand events that occur in everyday life. I pair this with techniques to assist in managing thoughts, including Motivational Interviewing, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and empirically-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to develop lifelong tools to address stress, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Additionally, I utilize tenants of Interpersonal Psychotherapy to address issues in couples therapy.
I am currently accepting clients with substance abuse issues, as well as those suffering from pain management disorders, depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder. I am also sensitive to the needs of adolescents and adults on the autism spectrum and am happy to lend the specialized assistance required by those clients and their families.
