In my one-on-one client sessions we will focus first and foremost on building a therapeutic relationship where the client feels safe, respected, heard and validated. From there I like to take a collaborative and eclectic approach to asses what modalities will best serve the specific needs of the unique client; I generally draw from CBT, DBT, MI, EMDR, as well as strength based and solution focused approaches.
Problem areas that I like to focus on include anxiety, depression, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use or process addictions, suicidal ideation, self-harm, communication issues, relationship issues, peer conflict, anger management, trauma and emotional regulation.
