My Approach to Helping
Many things in our lives can lead us to reach out when we feel the need for support or help working through challenges. The familiar ways of dealing with life's challenges may no longer be working, but together we can tap into your natural ability to adapt and change. I help my clients reorganize patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting in order to adapt to their present reality and to release the 'old stuff.'
I practice from a strengths-based, person-centered approach, collaborating to work toward my clients' growth and healing. My 'home base' is a person-centered approach, though I make frequent use of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I am certified through EMDRIA in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based practice to heal from trauma. EMDR is a wonderful tool to address barriers to moving forward rooted in past adversities and traumas.
The therapeutic process begins before I ever speak with a client, and it often takes some courage to reach out. If you are considering therapy, call or visit my web portal to consult or schedule a visit.
