Sabrina utilizes a variety of approaches based on a client’s unique goals, intentions, and personality – including tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
Sabrina’s practice is focused on establishing strong therapeutic relationships with clients to provide a safe, nurturing environment that supports client’s therapeutic goals. She works from a place of curiosity and compassion; grounded in the perspective that individuals are the experts in their own life. Sabrina works with clients to discover a deeper awareness of underlying cognitive, behavioral, and relationship patterns that are established through a person’s earlier life experiences. Through exploration of these early life experiences, clients gain a better understanding of how these past experiences influence their present difficulties. This increased awareness creates opportunity for clients to work to establish change in their problematic patterns by understanding their influential origins.
