Approach

Treatment Approach

I believe that we are designed dynamic and multi-faceted, thus we must honor and take notice of each important piece of ourselves.   By using a Bio-Psych-Social-Spiritual model of therapy we can move toward a more comprehensive understanding of needs and challenges and a more full and complete experience of recovery, wellness and joy.  

While my treatment approach is guided by my own training and experience, my goal is always to tailor therapy to your specific needs and concerns not just a symptom or diagnosis.  I pull from many different therapeutic models and interventions in practice.  I often use:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Internal Family Systems informed Therapy
Trauma Informed Therapy
Gottman Method Couple's Work
 

Psychodynamic Therapy
Mindfulness - Based Stress Reduction
Family Systems Approach
FOCCUS Pre-marital Inventory and Resources

Spiritually Informed Practice

I recognize and believe that faith and spirituality are often core to one’s identity and may be the root of many challenges that you are facing or embody the hope that will guide you toward overcoming them.  I am open and eager to engage in those places, as we explore together any spiritual and/or religious areas that are meaningful and important to you.
