Description (2950 characters max)
Therapy is both an art and a science, and our focus will be on getting you to where you want to go in the most effective way possible. I am skilled at several modalities including: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (a unique method of healing trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, etc.), Action-Oriented and Peak Performance Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Art Therapy and more. Counseling is customized for you, rather than a one-sized-fits-all approach.
Action-Oriented Therapy
This type of therapy focuses on taking action rather than simply talking about your history over and over again. Obviously, there are good reasons for analyzing your past: figuring out how your brain was developed and how your brain is wired, discovering what and how you learned about relationships and how this dynamic might be influencing your relationships in the here and now, and/or if past events are triggering current responses and reactions, et cetera. However, insight will only take you so far. We also need to learn how to take actions to create the change we long for. Action-Oriented Therapy is a dynamic, solution-focused method that may help you to transform your life for the better and get results sooner.
Scientific methods
With a strong belief in using science, I base therapy on research as much as possible. I have a passion for using neuroscience and other current studies as a springboard to developing innovative interventions to optimize your treatment help you feel relief more quickly.
Art Therapy
Most of my clients choose talk therapy; however, I am also a Registered Clinical Art Therapist. No skills are needed to use art therapy. Clinical neuroscience has shown that art accesses parts of the brain where emotions and memories are processed and stored. So, if you are ever feeling stuck and cannot figure out what is going on with you through language alone, sometimes art therapy can access the deepest parts of yourself.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Together, we can take a journey to a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
