Using an eclectic approach, I use a variety of therapeutic modalities I am experienced in to best meet the needs of the person sitting in front of me.  Below are different models of therapy I  frequently  integrate into client sessions; always in response to your personalized needs and goals:

• Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Psycho-education on topics specific to your personal challenges and/or goals in therapy
• Integrating use of books and/or workbooks into therapy
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Somatic-Based counseling interventions
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD: An evidence-based, short-term trauma therapy (approx. 12 sessions)
• Art Therapy (upon client interest)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Motivational Interviewing & Harm Reduction
• Humanistic/Person-Centered Counseling

Additional therapeutic modalities I will integrate into sessions when it best serves the client, but use less frequently:

• Narrative Therapy: Blends well with Art Therapy, though I rarely integrate this into talk therapy.
• Exposure and Response Therapy (ERP): Only applicable for Obsessive Disorder (OCD). I am competent to treat OCD, but do not specialize in this area of practice.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): DBT tends to focus on concrete, easy to follow coping strategies primarily focused on emotional regulation and interpersonal relationship skills. I integrate DBT skills into sessions when it is helpful or needed for specific clients. My natural approach as a therapist is to focus more on resolving underlying issues with clients in therapy; I am also generally more creative and flexible when helping clients develop specific coping strategies and skills. As such, I will typically integrate DBT when clients need or want concrete, step-by-step (and widely practiced) instructions to cope with and manage mental health symptoms.
