About My Clients
If you are reading this, then I imagine you have found yourself needing change. Perhaps you are exhausted by the daily anxiety that has you believe you are never safe, always questioning your place and relationships. Maybe you are finally ready to delve into a past that you have locked away, knowing it is time to dive into the unknown in the hopes to release its grip on your life. Relationship difficulties with family members, or perhaps just needing a space to breathe freely.
My Background and Approach
My approach uses integrative therapy. What is Integrative Therapy? Integrative Therapy is an approach that stems from the belief that there is no "one size fits all" therapeutic method for all challenges and goals. Integrative Therapy is the combination and bridge between various methods, therapeutic techniques, theories, and evidence based practices that I as the therapist will help tailor to your individual experience and story. There are hundreds of theories and approaches therapists use, here is a short list of some of the evidenced based practices and approaches that I pull from for our therapeutic journey together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Action and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Somatic Focused Mindfulness Meditation Practices Art Therapy Hakomi Techniques Narrative Therapy Psychodynamic Therapy Interpersonal Therapy
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the connection of our mind, body, and spirit as an integral part in the healing journey. The mind holds great power in how we understand the world, in our thoughts, and the choices we make. The body holds our history, our fears, and even without the mind knowing, it tells us what it thinks we should feel, think, and do. The spirit is often a difficult thing to define. Perhaps it is an entity, a personality, but for this moment think of it as our truest self. It is the yearning we have for peace that brought us to seek support. I welcome all ethnicities, races, spiritualities, faith backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I have an education and a passion for adoption, and especially welcome anyone who is in the process of adopting, has been adopted, or is in connection with the foster care system in any capacity.
