I work with adolescents and adults using primarily a cognitive behavioral approach. I also believe that the relationship between the provider and client is the key to successful treatment. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and use the philosophy of balancing change and acceptance when working with my clients. My primary focus is in understanding my clients and helping them reach their goals.
