Creating Change

 

authenticity ~ clarity ~ confidence

Therapy Approach

​

I provide individual therapy to adults. I believe that each individual has within them, the key to live life to their greatest potential. The change that each individual seeks is unique and personal. When meeting with me, you are validated and encouraged to be your authentic self and to invent the life you want to live. The relationship between client and therapist is essential in regards to honesty, trust and genuine exploration. I create an environment that promotes authenticity, clarity, and confidence because the presence of these elements helps us remember that our potential to create change is always present. I have a holistic approach that builds on your personal strengths and that incorporates the wholeness of your individual experience.

​

I use a multi-systemic approach, drawing from a diverse selection of evidence-based treatment methods to help each client meet their personal goals. I understand that the same approach doesn't work for everyone and many people benefit most from multiple therapeutic models. Regardless of the specific model I am using, I have a humanistic and empowerment-based approach. The evidence-based and treatment methods that I provide include:

​

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)

• IFS (Internal Family Systems)

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

• Positive Psychology

• Trauma Informed

• LBGTQIA+ Affirmative

​

Common reasons to initiate therapy can include experiences of:

​

• Trauma

• Grief

• Major life changes

• Difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression

• A desire to gain a deeper understanding of how your past relates to your present

I offer HIPAA compliant Telehealth, as well as in person sessions, at no extra charge to my clients. Managing our mental and emotional health needs is important now more than ever.
