Everyone's challenges are unique to the person. I like to try identify causes of symptoms that present rather than try and treat symptoms. As such, in our appointments we will try to make them specific to your needs and I willing accept feedback for what clients wish to focus on rather than follow a fixed agenda.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- 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.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.

My main therapeutic orientation is CBT, which focuses on understanding thought processes and daily actions. Many of the thoughts that we maintain each day drive our actions and if those thoughts are negative they can be barriers to moving forward and achieving or goals. My focus with clients is to address the negative thoughts and take down barriers to find a better path forward.
