My work focuses on the here and now- what brings a client to therapy. I focus on solutions and helping clients understand how their belief systems can help or hinder their successes. The primary modalities I use are CBT, DBT, and brief solution focuses treatment

A first visit centers around getting to know the many aspects of a clients life, what is working, what is hindering their successes and developing solution focused goals with measurable outcomes
