What's My Approach to Therapy?
I view therapy not as a place to simply "vent," but as a laboratory where we actively experiment with how to relate. My approach is direct, collaborative, and deeply rooted in the belief that you are not broken—you are simply stuck in a story that no longer serves you. But there is a way through
Many of my clients come to me feeling like they are "too much" or that their problems are too complex to solve. In our sessions, we move beyond just talking about the problem. We use a combination of top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) processing to address the root causes of your distress.
I integrate EMDR to help you process traumatic memories, Somatic Experiencing techniques to release tension stored in the nervous system, and DBT to provide concrete skills for emotional awareness and regulation.
For those who desire it, I love to provide Christian counseling.
