Additionally, I have advanced education, training, and experience in Applied Behavior Analysis and hold certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. My approach My counseling style is warm and interactive and is grounded in wellness and pragmatism with a client-focused, strength-based approach. I employ an empathic, direct, and practical counseling style, using a wide range of evidence-based tools to make our time most meaningful and enhance your everyday life concerns. I view clients through a developmental lens and use an eclectic approach from an evidence-based perspective, and meet people where they are and with techniques and interventions to best match their unique needs and experiences. This includes skillful and strategic use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), object relations, family systems, Gestalt, and narrative therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), with an individualized, person-centered focus and psychodynamic/existential theoretical framework. My focus I have helped people with a wide range of concerns including post-traumatic stress disorder, childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault, depression, anxiety, attachment and parenting issues, relationship and family issues, career and academic challenges, decision-making, and problem-solving. Other related experience includes teaching behavior analysis and supervising the fieldwork of behavior analyst interns and clinical mental health counseling graduate students
