Counseling Philosophy
I believe we all thrive as our best selves when we have the tools we need for success and the self-awareness to know the tools we need and when to use them. While a diagnosis and a treatment plan help guide the care you receive from me, I ensure that your goals are met in a holistic way because "you are the boss of you!"
Throughout my therapy process, I will involve you as an integral part of your treatment planning and regularly check in with your progress toward goals. I'm a huge proponent of "if you can name it, you can tame it." As a former educator, I live by "knowledge is power" so brain/neuro science psychoeducation is another important aspect of my therapy process. I aim for you to have a thorough understanding of what you are feeling and use this self-awareness to take control of your life and move from a survival state to a thrive state.
My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Somatic Psychotherapy, Self-Compassion Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Counseling.
