My Approach to Helping

I have an ecletic, rather practical approach to therapy. I tailor my approach to suit the needs of the individual. That said, I am likely to incorporate mindfulness into treatment. I also lean towards Acceptance and Committment Therapy and DBT most heavily.
I believe that everyone can change, when they want to, and that problems have solutions. I am good at seeing the potential in others.
