One common method emphasizes identifying strengths and building on them to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; this approach helps people tackle addictions, depression, and stress through step-by-step skills. Another frequently used strategy centers on problem solving and behavioral changes to address patterns that cause difficulty, such as addictive behaviors or career-related obstacles.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm the available online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
