Therapeutic Approach
I meet my clients where they are at and work from a holistic bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens, ensuring to give attention to all facets of the human experience. My integrative approach includes Psychodynamic, Narrative, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, , Parts Work, and Somatic Healing to connect with different parts of you—the wonderful parts, the parts that hold you back, and the parts you don’t want to face alone. We can approach these together.
What is Psychotherapy?
Living in a dynamic world with challenges, responsibilities, and distractions, it can be difficult to carve time out to check in with yourself to see what you need more of. Therapy provides you with this very significant and powerful pause. Psychotherapy is ‘talk therapy’, meaning that the practice is grounded in dialogue between you and your therapist. You are granted with designated and uninterrupted time to explore your life in a calm, non-judgmental, and confidential environment, as well as having the opportunity to process experiences/traumas in a safe way. Such exploration is paired with powerful insight and coping skill development to better manage your own life, body, and relationships.
