I also provide child, marital, and family counseling.
I have experience with many types of therapy that research has found to be effective (e.g. cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion-focused couples therapy, and motivational interviewing). Having a flexible approach and many tools to choose from helps me find what will be right for you. In general, I will work with you as a collaborative team to understand you as a person and the difficulties you've been facing, which tools/techniques work best for you, and how to apply these in an effective manner. Some potential things you may focus on in therapy include: understanding and shifting thoughts and beliefs, building coping and other important skills, increasing motivation towards healthier behaviors, facing your fears, processing and understanding your emotions. With younger children, I tend to work with the child and their parents to help build skills, shift thinking, decrease acting-out behaviors, improve communication, increase positive interactions in the family, learn ways to decrease anxiety or depressed mood, along with other specific goals.
With couple's, I provide a safe, comfortable environment to process difficult emotions that come up in long-term relationships and help couples to gain understanding and empathy for their partner's values and positions in a conflict. Overall, I attempt to provide individualized care in a warm, safe, and supportive environment.
