ABOUT MY METHODS

I think that the biggest challenge in choosing therapy is finding a suitable fit for people and their specific problems. I’ve applied behavior analysis, cognitive behavior therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy as methods to help people. In addition, I use mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and solution-focused therapy. For people who are fighting with their spouse and/or kids, I have a lot of experience in doing marriage and family therapy. Behind whatever we do in therapy, I’ll rely on humor and creativity in solving your problems in a respectful way. Come talk to me today to get started.
