My Approach to Helping

I take an integrative approach to counseling, often drawing on my background in dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. Through these approaches, we can notice how we fall into cycles of thoughts and emotions that keep us feeling stuck and start to disrupt these cycles. By accepting and valuing how old patterns of thinking and feeling have helped us to survive and being open to new perspective, we can start to avoid the traps of self-blame and hopelessness to connect with what is important to us.
