Jill believes that the collaborative counseling relationship facilitates hope and healing. She takes a “coach approach” to behavioral change, and combines cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness, solution-focused, and strengths based modalities with her clients and families. Jill enjoys using tools like the Enneagram, Wheel of Life, and mindfulness, to create clarity and insight into thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs.
Furthermore, she provides Christian counseling upon the request of the client.
