Treatment Approach
My training has provided me with a strong foundation in the biopsychosocial approach. I recognize the multitude of factors that affect a youth’s development and behavior. I often work with parents to help them support their child and learn more effective ways of interacting with their family members. I have also worked with teachers, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and advocates to help families reach their goals.
I utilize evidence-based treatments to help youth and families maximize their strengths and work through their weaknesses to help them create positive change and thrive. I primarily utilized Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), and am well versed in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), and mindfulness based techniques.
