Therapy style
My therapy style is client-centered and solution-oriented. I have worked with a wide variety of populations including all diagnoses, all ages, couples, etc. for several years. I typically combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emotional regulation, techniques, stress management, and a multitude of other modalities specific to each client’s treatment plan. An area of strength would be working with geriatrics to address issues in their current phase of life.
