Philosophy of Treatment
-
Compassionate and Person-Centered Approach
My approach is eclectic, which means I use multiple models. As a professional who falls between the Millennial and GenEx age groups, I understand the struggles of being in the “sandwich generation”; living between and caring for both a younger and an older generation. I work well with those who seek personal growth, career satisfaction, break-up recovery, grief, loss, and overall stress management.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be really helpful when your thoughts become overwhelming. I can teach your how to understand the connection between situations, thoughts, feelings and ultimately, your behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides concrete techniques that are easy to learn and you can use them anytime.

Positive Psychology
Positive psychology has become more common among the human sciences over the past decade. It challenges traditional psychology models which historically have focused on changing negative patterns and thoughts. Positive Psychology instead tries to engage the client through identifying their strengths. Additionally, it encourages clients to be grateful for what is going well and identify ways to improve the good parts of their life.
