Therapy is a very unique relationship that every individual can benefit from.
My style is sympathetic, facilitative, and client-driven. I help guide clients through a process of setting therapy objectives, and follow their lead in therapy sessions. I am flexible and ready to adjust to changing goals for therapy and new life situations
My Approach
My therapeutic approach is informed through Cognitive Behavioral theory, in that I believe it is important for us to pay attention to and assess the connections between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You are likely coming to therapy because there is some aspect of your life you would like to change. Our journey is to identify how potentially unhelpful or even harmful thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are being reinforced and intervene to think, feel, or behave differently.
My Style
I also use a lot of ideas and techniques from DBT and ACT modalities, most specifically the practice of identifying dialectics and understanding how two opposing things can be true at the same time. What aspects of a particular situation or thought must we accept and what aspects do we have some power over to change? While dialectically opposed, acceptance and change are constants we can identify and work with to think, feel, and behave differently.
