Therapist Overview

My foundation is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I believe this approach is so valuable in offering concrete and goal-oriented treatment. I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which I find to be especially useful with persistent depression. Bottom line–the approach should fit the individual!
