I practice not only Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational interviewing, but also solution focused therapy. I enjoy working with clients to address the root cause of their problems. I am a believer that it is important to address the core issues and not just treat the symptoms.
I prioritize things such as person-centered goals that clients would like to address. I also believe in working with clients based on what their values are.
I have a background with working in Crisis, Addiction, and individual therapy. I enjoy working with individuals to build SMART goals that they can continue to add to. I not only grew up in addiction, but I also worked in it for some years.
I enjoy integrating physical health as well. I believe mental and physical health are intertwined and need to be treated in a Holistic manner. I work with theories such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs to assist clients with referrals, if need be, to address needs that may fall out of my scope. I also focus on social supports and helping clients build the proper support system as we are social creatures.
