My approach to therapy

My therapy approach is to empower those I serve by helping them heal through supportive therapeutic services. My ability to establish rapport and the therapeutic alliance precedes my reputation throughout the community. Motivational Interviewing, Motivational Enhancement, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Meditation, Coping Strategies, and Relapse Prevention Planning are all evidence-based practices supported at LTHBN.

What you can expect from me

The goal of 'Let the Healing Begin Now' is for clients to walk away feeling empowered, encouraged, and supported in achieving their goals while saving their lives. Clients are allowed to vent and present their concerns and challenges during 60-minute 1:1 therapy sessions.
