As a mental health practitioner, my approach to working with a patient is from a holistic lens and the biopsychosocial model. When you walk into the room, my hope is to make you feel as comfortable as possible and give you an open space to share all of your thoughts, feelings, worries, and even accomplishments!
My goal is to help patients make small changes in their daily lives that eventually become big behavior changes after treatment is done. One step in front of the other and consistency will lead you to greatness!
I work from a humanistic approach while also infusing interpersonal psychotherapy, acceptance commitment therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and some cognitive behavioral therapy. That doesn’t mean that I won’t work with someone who needs a different approach. As a clinician, it is my duty to do the best work for my patient.
