About My Clients
I see individuals from 12 years old to 65.
My Background and Approach
I believe in the inherent worthiness of all people, and I am honored that you are considering working with me. I use two main approaches in therapy: (1) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and (2) Expressive Arts/Gestalt Therapy. Expressive arts therapy is a holistic approach that treats the mind, body, and spirit. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is effective for dealing with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other disorders. This approach is skills-based, and clients often experience results after 12 - 20 sessions. Often clients come to me after having been in counseling before. They tell me they “know” what coping skills are and how to use them; however, knowing these skills and implementing them is hard. On an intellectual level, these clients are versed in many techniques and ways to approach problems. However, the change they need has not occurred. With these clients, I often introduce expressive arts therapy.
