How we Help
My theoretical orientations include humanistic-existential, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused brief therapy. I use these approaches to look at the whole person while helping clients remain true to themselves (humanistic), identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts (cognitive), increase self-awareness responsibility, and live more authentic lives (existential) while focusing on finding solutions for issues in the here and now (solution-focused). Despite my most often used theoretical approaches, I integrate spirituality and methods that match each unique client's needs when requested and appropriate.
