Treatment Approaches

In my practice, I utilize several evidence-based approaches, including Adlerian psychotherapy, CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness techniques, all of which are tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Adlerian psychotherapy focuses on the importance of early childhood experiences and their impact on current patterns of behavior. This approach emphasizes the importance of developing a sense of purpose and meaning in life, while also focusing on the strengths and resources that you already possess.

CBT, or cognitive-behavioral therapy, is a practical and goal-oriented approach that works by identifying and challenging negative patterns of thinking and behavior that may be contributing to your difficulties. With CBT, we will work together to develop new strategies and coping skills to help you achieve your goals.

Psychodynamic therapy is a more exploratory approach that seeks to uncover unconscious patterns and conflicts that may be contributing to your difficulties. By exploring these deeper issues, we can develop a greater sense of self-awareness and a stronger sense of personal agency.

Mindfulness techniques can be used across all of these approaches, helping you to develop greater self-awareness and focus, and to cultivate a greater sense of calm and balance in your life. I teach meditation and breathing exercises that can be used to improve sleep, decrease anxiety, and promote wellness. Mindfulness techniques can help you to become more accepting of your thoughts and feelings, and to develop greater present-moment awareness.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy method where clients recall traumatic events while moving their eyes or receiving other forms of rhythmic stimulation. This process helps reduce the emotional distress linked to those memories, easing symptoms like flashbacks and anxiety often associated with PTSD, aiming to promote healing and improve overall well-being.

Through the use of these approaches, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and work towards positive change. I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance is key to making progress in therapy, and I will work with you to establish a relationship based on trust, respect, and collaboration.

Together we will work towards your goals, whether that is to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, improve relationships, or develop greater self-awareness and personal growth. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, and I look forward to working with you.
