Therapeutic Style:

My therapeutic style is a collaboration between client and counselor. I employ an integrative approach that is driven by student need. I tend to integrate Solution-Focused, Behavioral, Cognitive-Behavioral and Reality Therapy techniques when working with clients. I enjoy empowering students through Psychoeducation and skill building. I believe all behavior has purpose and work with the client to identify the underlying motivation behind the (maladaptive) behavior. I focus on building rapport with clients by utilizing humor when appropriate and maintaining a non-judgmental perspective.
