A Holistic Approach

first step

Welcome

It takes courage to seek support and I’m pleased that you are taking the first step in finding a therapist.

It is important to find the right therapist that you connect with and can establish a trusting relationship. I believe that when people come to therapy, they allow themselves opportunities for self-exploration and growth. It is my goal to create a safe space, where you can make positive changes, so you can live a more fulfilling life.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed school psychologist who has been in the field for over ten years. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Self-esteem & Relationship Issues.

Methods

Holistic therapy can take many different forms.
It often draws from other forms of therapy and is often tailored to the individual’s unique needs.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the understanding that our emotional experiences are directly related to our thoughts, beliefs, and actions

DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach derived from CBT methods that focus on change and acceptance interventions.

ACT

The key objective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is achieved through educating clients about the six core processes and supporting the development of new psychological skills, including mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and acceptance.

Somatic Therapy

Also known as somatic experiencing and somatic experiencing therapy, somatic therapy incorporates the mind, body, and spirit into therapeutic healing work. This therapy aims to help release how a physical body holds on to stress, tension, and trauma, rather than only resolving problems verbally.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness practices can include a wide variety of different exercises and activities. Generally, they are intended to help you learn to observe yourself and the world around you in an open, nonjudgmental way.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy aims to help the client identify important pieces of the puzzle that makes them who they are and rearrange them in ways that allow the client to form a more functional and positive sense of self.

Nature Therapy

Nature therapy describes an approach to well-being that emphasizes meaningful exposure to nature, which research has associated with numerous benefits for physical and mental health.
