Asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world.
Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger.
Psychotherapy can be an effective tool in providing you with the necessary support and training to overcome the challenges you face. By seeking therapy, you are taking responsibility and action to change what no longer works in your life. Many studies have shown throughout the years that psychotherapy is an effective form of treating and managing mental illnesses and other emotional disorders.
Treatment Approach
I use a variety of approaches to address my clients unique needs.
Many successful treatment plans will utilize a foundation of:
- behavioral, cognitive/cognitive-behavioral
- compassion focus therapy
- dialectical behavior therapy
- emotionally focused therapy
- imago relationship therapy
- person-centered
- play therapy
- psychoeducational
- solution-focused brief therapy
Then quickly move toward a tailored treatment plan and approach that includes tools to help sustain the growth experienced in regular therapy.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
