Treatment Model: My therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral, however I often integrate techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Therapy is tailored to a client's needs and goals, and is provided in a supportive and collaborative environment. Therapy is a time to explore a client's presenting concerns and for a therapist & client to work together towards the client's goals. Integrating empirically supported treatments, empathy, collaboration, validation, and teaching skills for change facilitate reaching the quality of life a client is seeking.
