What's My Approach to Therapy?
I specialize in individualizing care to your needs and have over 36 years of healthcare experience in multiple specialties. I am passionate about helping people achieve an exceptional life by teaching them how to apply both nonpharmacological skills and best practices for utilizing psychiatric medications. To effectively move through the difficulties life throws at us, it takes a wide variety of tools, individualized to meet our personal situations.
I have successfully used an eclectic variety of methods that empower personal growth, bring back the strength needed to meet the demands in our lives, and move people away from suffering and toward a higher level of well-being. All this is achieved through techniques that expand consciousness and awareness, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical distress tolerance tools, stress management, assertiveness skills, experiential learning, mindfulness cognitive therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, positive psychology concepts, and the use of prescription psychiatric medications.
