As an integrative therapist, I believe in tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs rather than relying on a single therapeutic method. I blend various theories and techniques from different modalities to create a customized treatment plan. Over my years of practice, I've integrated elements from various therapies to address the specific needs of my clients.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes our innate capacity for self-actualization. Through genuine, empathetic, and non-judgmental interaction, the therapist fosters a therapeutic relationship conducive to growth. Clients are encouraged to utilize this environment to fulfill their potential and align with their desired selves.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to foster a nonjudgmental yet attentive mindset. Through increased awareness of bodily sensations, thoughts, and surroundings, mindfulness is cultivated. The focus is on nonjudgmentally accepting various mental phenomena. Clients learn key components of mindfulness: self-regulation of attention and present moment.
Narrative Therapy
We will focus on the stories you use to inform and organize your sense of reality. In counseling, you will explore how these stories describe and shape your perspectives on your past, present, and future. Your counseling sessions will likely focus on re-authoring your single story and the creation of options and alternative stories.
Family Systems Therapy
Rather than assigning blame for dysfunction, the focus is on observing communication and interaction patterns within the family unit. The therapy aims to facilitate change by encouraging the family to interrupt existing patterns and experiment with new behaviors, even if the entire family doesn't attend counseling sessions.
Emotion Focused Therapy
By identifying current emotional challenges, the therapy helps uncover underlying feelings and vulnerabilities that may be obscured by immediate emotions displayed in relationships. Clients learn to express emotions in a manner that fosters connection rather than disconnection. There are three stages: de-escalation of negative interaction cycles, restructuring interactions, and consolidating new positive patterns of behavior.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on how our thinking influences our behavior. I will work with you to identify and challenge your maladaptive thinking and then your behaviors that contribute to the problem. It is common for clients to complete homework assignments related to their counseling goals between sessions. Your counseling sessions will likely be structured to aid you in making incremental progress towards your goal.
Play Therapy
Through play, children can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Play therapy offers an opportunity for children to process difficult feelings, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills. Play therapy is often used to address a range of issues such as anxiety, trauma, behavioral problems, and family conflicts.
EMDR Therapy
During EMDR sessions, clients focus on a distressing memory while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This bilateral stimulation is believed to facilitate the brain's processing of traumatic memories, leading to a reduction in associated distress and the integration of these memories into adaptive networks.
