Therapy Style
I've been trained in different Evidence-Based Programs such as MAP (Managing and Adapting Practice), 0-5 series, TF-CBT (Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and others. I enjoy empowering patients to reach their goals by building rapport, providing psychoeducation, and providing feedback to make changes. I meet the patient where they are but challenge them when needed. I like to use Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Solution Focus for the patient to accomplish their goals. I have provided therapy for adults up to 85 years old.
