I believe in the power of making a therapeutic connection with my clients and treating each client as an individual. I believe in client centered approaches and not forcing a single therapeutic framework on anyone. Our unique life experiences should be treated as that. I feel this approach truly inspires clients to create the changes they seek. This means that I use a variety of approaches such as: Adlerian therapy, DBT, CBT, Somatic and Art Therapy to address a wide range of issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma.

Treatment Approach
- Adlerian Therapy Focuses on understanding a person’s sense of belonging and purpose. It helps people overcome feelings of inferiority and create healthier relationships.
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
Approach Description: Supportive and empowering. Sometimes this looks like moving from miserable to coping or from good to living your best life! If you have goals we will find a way to get them accomplished. If you have not had goals before you have a dream and that is a great place to start.
