Eclectic therapy is integrative and adapts to the client's needs. It depends on the client's presenting problem, the treatment goals, the clients' motivation, and expectations.

We all may struggle with anxiety from time-to-time. When it interferes with daily living/functioning, it is wise to seek out help. I assist my clients in identifying their triggers and learning coping skills that would be useful in/out of therapy.

Depression is a common mental health issue and range from mild to severe. Seeking help does not show weakness but shows strength. In therapy, I assist my clients in identifying the reason they are depressed. Then, evaluate previous coping skills while introducing new coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) maybe used in session. CBT is helpful in identifying negative thinking and replacing it with a positive way of thinking.

I have worked for over a year with adolescents and families with an ODD diagnosis. Behavioral interventions, parent-child interaction therapy, and parenting classes are some of what I provide for my clients.
