THERE'S NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL TYPE OF THERAPY
Therapy is meant to be collaborative! I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all model to therapy, and want to help you find what works best for you, whether that means including alternative forms of expression such as art, or perhaps including your own personal spirituality in the conversation. My desire for you in therapy is to feel safe to explore the root of the pain that you are currently experiencing. When we feel safe enough to explore these things we can begin to uncover helpful ways to create lasting change that continues beyond the end of our therapy sessions. Whether you have been experiencing long standing difficulties or struggling more recently, there is hope for a more fulfilling life! I understand that coming to therapy can be really scary and I'm happy that you've made it this far.
TRAINING
Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) : CBT is an evidence based practice that examines the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In examining maladaptive thought patterns we can better understand how to make tangible change within our behaviors. This also impacts our self-esteem and can create lasting change to our core beliefs about ourselves
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: TF-CBT is an evidence based practice used with children and adolescents that combines CBT concepts with a focus on traumatic incidents that a person may have experienced. Practices often include an exposure element to therapy in order to decrease sensitivity to common reactions to trauma.
​
Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP): MAP is an evidence based practice that works to identify areas of concerns with specific treatment interventions and tools that will assist in addressing specific concerns. For example, some interventions include relaxation training, social skills building, and motivation enhancement to name a few.
