What does a first session with you look like?
My therapeutic style is warm and interactive, with a sense of humor. I refer to the therapy process as "The Yellow Brick Road," a collaborative journey of self-discovery in relation to others. Whether working with families, couples, individuals, or groups, I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. My goal is to help people develop healthy, communicative, loving, and thriving relationships with themselves and others. I tailor my approach to meet my patients' unique and specific needs, and my goal is to integrate the whole self into the healing process. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you if you are ready to take that step.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I do not believe in stigmatizing labels, and I use my primary modality, Pain In the Heart Theory (PITH), to develop a family map as part of my assessment. This helps me understand the relational patterns and foundation of personal relationship experiences to truly understand what needs to be healed. I also have training in other modalities, including Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Multisystemic Therapy, and Family Therapy (Bowen and Structural). I use Integrative Mental Health practices and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also called Tapping, as additional modalities. I also offer EFT-only session, limitations apply.
