Therapy Approach
My approach to therapy is integrative. I incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies. I also draw on other theoretical perspectives such as mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Overall, I provide client-centered, collaborative and goal-oriented treatment for co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders. Together, we will challenge thinking styles, develop coping strategies, identify strengths and create steps to positive change.
Supervision Approach
My supervisory model is based on a strengths approach, providing opportunities and education to my supervisees to enhance their skills and knowledge. I encourage open communication and feedback using a developmental model to encourage motivation, confidence and self-awareness.
