My approach is uniquely tailored to everyone’s presenting problems. I practice from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive viewpoint. Commonly used methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which aims at addressing maladaptive thought and behavioral patterns, Solution-Focused Therapy which builds upon one’s already established strengths, Narrative Therapy which helps individuals identify their values and personal skill sets, as well as widen perspectives through the use alternative story building, and Motivational Interviewing which utilizes one’s own motivations to elicit behavioral change. While trained in several therapeutic approaches, more often than not, I use an integrated approach that combines two or more approaches together to better target the unique characteristics involved in one’s life difficulties.
