My Approach to Therapy
No matter what challenges life brings, I believe we all possess inner strengths from which we can pull and build upon to once again achieve the balance that is so necessary in life. At times, we all need help in finding those strengths. My goal and purpose is to help you find those strengths. In therapy, I will meet you where you are and help you navigate your current circumstances. We will explore your history, patterns of behavior, thought processes, and relationships that have brought you to this current space in life. Together, through the therapeutic relationship, we will find your path back to balance.
I use a variety of modalities to help my clients. In addition to Psychodynamic Therapy, I use Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) which is a form of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques so my clients can take home with them a skill set they can use anytime they feel the need to reduce stress and re-establish peace and calm within.
