My Approach to Helping
I am able to provide a variety of trauma focused treatment modalities. Additionally, I primarily work from a dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) lens. My goal is to build an understanding and empathetic relationship, while assisting others in reaching their goals and the versions of themselves they aspire toward. I provide a variety of skills that can assist in addressing current problems in the moment, as well as facilitate long-term change. My goal is to assist in accepting limitations that may arise in life, while finding ways to both tolerate and overcome challenges.
Regarding assessment, I feel that the right diagnosis can make the world of difference in determining treatment approaches, accommodations, and where to begin with creating change. Psychological evaluations can provide direction and clarity for those struggling to manage their experiences. My intent in an evaluation is to understand a client from a wholistic perspective and to provide comprehensive results in a timely manner.
