Adriane’s style of therapy is an eclectic approach or “multi-modal” to adapt to the individual needs of her patients. Adriane believes that therapy is not “one size fits all” and that there is a mutual and collaborative focus on the direction and goals of therapy. Some of the modalities she commonly uses are DBT, CBT, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

While Adriane has vast experience working with individuals suffering from anxiety or depression, she also has expertise working with people struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, relationship issues, grief/loss, anger management,

LGBTQIA-related issues, life transitions, panic attacks, panic disorder, self-esteem, work stress, and women’s issues.

Adriane believes and recognizes that the person in therapy is the expert on their own experience. Her role as the therapist is to make interpretations, offer suggestions, and guide them to their best self!
