Therapist Overview
My approach to therapy includes listening with compassion and without judgment and then helping clients to find the best way for them to move forward. Sometimes just talking about things helps a person to gain insight. Other times the individual may need to learn some new skills or make some changes in their thought process or behavior. I have had additional training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches focus on identifying how our thoughts impact our feelings and also on learning specific skills to help regulate emotions, and improve relationships; also on how to deal with anger more effectively and learning better ways to tolerate stress. I believe in the mind-body-spiritual connection and encourage regular practice of mindfulness/meditation/prayer. I also encourage clients to be active in rehearsing new skills/concepts outside of therapy sessions and reporting back on their progress in therapy sessions so we can refine how these may work
