MY APPROACH

Deciding on a therapist is a daunting step.  It is also a very important step because the connection you have with your therapist can influence how successful your progress will be.  So, let me tell you how I approach therapy to help you decide if we’ll “click.” 

 

I rely on the power of connection to help heal the pain one is experiencing and create positive changes.  I love helping people become more aware of who they are and how they experience life.   I find that this new awareness allows us to work together and break free from destructive behaviors and thoughts.  Allowing you to have a more balanced and content life.

 

The work you do won’t be easy.   But I believe people can create lives full of joy.  I’ll teach you skills to help you become a better YOU.  A person that can regulate emotions and connect more fully with others.  At times I’ll get honest with you and tell you like it is.  But I’ll always try to meet your need for support and compassion. 

 

Everyone is different and have different ways of learning so I use a variety of modalities that I have been trained in to meet your needs.  Some of the modalities I may use with you are:

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness

• Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Trauma based CBT

• Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT)
