My Approach to Helping
I have worked with clients that have a variety of issues. I am licensed as both a mental health and a substance use provider. I offer a goal oriented treatment using an integrative therapeutic approach. I have worked in several different settings including Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals where the goal was stabilization to Detoxification Facilities. I have also worked at various other levels of care, which include Partial Hospital Programs and Intensive Out Patient. I have also spent two years working in an Outpatient Anxiety Center and have worked for several Community Based Mental Health Programs.
I have worked in a range of settings including adolescent and adult behavioral health and substance use treatment. I have extensive experience in both anxiety and trauma. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and other research-supported approaches.
I also provide Trauma Focused Therapy, which is the real story of what happened to them. I provide psychoeducation on what is trauma and what are the effects of trauma, what does trauma look like, and we identify the maladaptive coping skills. I assist clients with the development of more healthy adaptive coping skills to improve a clients outcomes.
