My general approach to helping people is to utilize my training and experience to walk beside my clients as we assess the changes they would like to make in their thinking, feeling, behaviors, and relationships. With humility and compassion, I believe that successful change is created through insightful, cognitively modifying, experiential conversations in a collaborative relationship between the client(s) and therapist. Some people just need a few sessions to get some perspective, understanding, or resources to deal with their experiences and difficulties. Others have more work to do and choose to contiue meeting with me for a longer time period. It is your life; let me help you truly live it.
More Info About My Practice
I utilize an integrated model of therapy which involves the use of Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive/Behavioral techniques. In addition, I place an emphasis on intergenerational patterns from the past which might be impacting the present functioning of the client and their family. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and/or long-standing patterns. In working with families, I am effective in helping parents to gain insight and skills to strengthen their confidence and understanding of their child�s emotional and behavioral expressions. This is often accomplished through the use of Emotion Coaching and Play Therapy. Play is how a child works to understand, explore, and master their world. In utilizing Play Therapy, I am able to connect with the child and their parents and to strengthen the connection between parent and child. While these approaches guide my general approach to therapy, I have maintained the student�s mindset of purposefully continuing to grow in knowledge and skills through professional training and learning from the life experiences of my clients.
