Therapy style

My approach to counseling is one of collaboration. I use a holistic approach to my clients encouraging them to take the lead in their therapy wants, needs, concerns, etc., and maintain their autonomy. I use different methods of therapy including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (ISRT), mindfulness, and Interpersonal Therapy. My goal is to work as a team with my clients to identify and work through issues in an open, honest, and safe environment.
