My approach to counseling

I use evidence-based interventions which address the holistic needs of an individual and draw out his or her motivations and skills for change; specific therapeutic interventions reflect the tenets of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and attachment theory. Together, these theories not only promote insight but also provide practical ways to change thought patterns, behaviors, and ways of relating to others. My choice of approach varies depending on the presenting problems and goals of the client, their personality and intellectual style, and the amount of time they are able to devote to therapeutic work.

Addiction
Relapse prevention
