Treatment Approaches/Modalities
I specialize in addictions in the family , as well as individuals and couples.
Use of insightfulness, compassion and empathy in coupleship, and relationship building, as well as couple's dependency needs and independent struggles are a focus of couples and families therapy.
Utilization of mindfulness techniques and encouragement of clientele to do so on their own has been of the utmost benefit, as well as the utilization of any of their own personal spiritual and or religious beliefs as a foundation. I also use CBT; skill building; narrative techniques and increased awareness and guidance to address the issues that the client chooses to address. Also treating PTSD, in individuals, families, and in Public service folks, i.e, Fire Department/Rescue Personnel, Police, and Community Service Workers.
To best serve a clients needs, per their request, I have trained in and studies many Spiritual approaches : including Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism.
