A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION. 🧡❤️💜💙💚💛 I take great pride in building a rapport and connection with my clients, and creating an environment that fosters trust, safety, validation, connection, and growth. My therapy style is warm, compassionate, validating, reassuring, interactive, and focused on Solutions rather than Problems, Labels, or a specific Diagnostic Determination. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. Utilizing an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Approach (ACT) - A form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals live fulfilling and meaningful lives while managing difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. A key aspect of ACT is the use of defusion techniques. My approach also combines a cognitive-behavioral approach, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) approach, Mindfulness and Meditation, a Structural and Strategic therapeutic approach, a Solution-Focused Model of Treatment, with additional experiential therapies including Internal Family Systems, a Humanistic Approach, and Motivational Interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change.
