Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
Approach Description: I provide trauma-informed, patient-centered psychiatric care that combines thoughtful medication management with therapeutic techniques to support long-term mental wellness. During medication visits, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness strategies to increase awareness and reduce stress, and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and enhance engagement in treatment. My approach is collaborative and holistic, aiming to empower clients with practical tools while optimizing medication to stabilize mood, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.
