My Approach

​

I continue to  update my knowledge of the best, most effective, and efficient treatments by regularly attending workshops and reviewing findings from recent research.  As a result, the treatment interventions that I use regularly change to incorporate this state-of-the-art information.

​

Over the years, I've studied various theoretical orientations:

• Psychoanalytic approaches

• Humanistic, Feminist, and culturally informed treatments

• Family Systems Theory including Play Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Contemporary Variants of CBT

  • Mindfulness

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment (EMDR)

  • Exposure and Response Prevention
