My approach combines therapies depending on the needs of the client. My style is warm and empathic while also maintaining directness and honesty. There is likely to be a sprinkling of humor throughout! As a combat veteran, my strengths are in the areas of trauma, depression, and anxiety; however, I'm Gottman-trained and enjoy couples/relationship work.
My approach involves combining a comprehensive intake with a variety of evidence-based modalities to get a better understanding of past contributors to current issues. I traditionally utilize a combination of CBT alongside solutions-focused and strengths-based methods to offer a balanced way of empowering clients to build practical skills.
Clients can be expected to have easy but helpful homework following most sessions so that they have something to both work and reflect on in-between sessions.
