My Approach to Helping
I have worked with clients that have a variety of issues. I am licensed as both a mental health and a substance use provider. I offer a goal-oriented treatment using an integrative therapeutic approach. I have worked in several different settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals where the goal was stabilization to detoxification facilities. I have also worked at various other levels of care, which include partial hospital programs and intensive outpatient. I enjoy working with both adult and adolescent populations.
I have worked in a range of settings including adolescent and adult behavioral health and substance use treatment. I have extensive experience in both anxiety and trauma. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and other research-supported approaches.
I am also a Substance Abuse Professional and can work with those who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
