Specializations<\/h2>\n

I am an integrative, strengths-based, and person-centered therapist, who works with individuals, children, couples, and families. I work to create a warm, inviting, and supportive environment for each and every client I see, and I value empathy, authenticity, and genuineness as a part of the therapeutic process.<\/p>\n

I specialize in neurodivergent populations, gender and sexual identity, giftedness, and high sensitivity, although I still do see clients from various backgrounds and experiences. I have vast experience working with autistic clients.<\/p>\n

I often work with people who struggle with isolation, hopelessness, emotion regulation, anxiety, low self-esteem, and identity development, and I strive to help every client I see reach their therapeutic goals.<\/p>\n

An Integrative Approach<\/h2>\n

We all come from different backgrounds and places, which is why I identify myself as an integrative therapist, meaning I utilize different theories from psychology to find which ones best suite you and your process. With each client I see I draw from certain theoretical approaches I believe can best guide them to reaching their goals. The following are common therapies I use, and a short description of each therapy is included.\u00a0<\/span>(Please click below)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Narrative Therapy consists of creating a narrative of our lives, and creating meaning through our story. We can begin to point out themes in our stories, and work to discover unrecognized and\/or hidden possibilities our story contains. Our identity is influenced by our story, and we have the ability to reinterpret the story if need be.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Existential Therapy” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

We must strive to be our authentic selves, while grappling with questions around the nature of the human condition such as beginning to search for meaning, accepting being alone, and deciding on our fate. Existential Therapy strives to teach people that they are free and to identify things that block their freedom, while also becoming more aware of the self and accepting responsibility for certain events in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Psychoanalytic Therapy” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Psychoanalytic Therapy places an emphasis on our early experiences, and recognizes that our unconscious plays an important role in how we see our world and our present behavior. We must make the unconscious conscious as a way to reconstruct our personality, and work through repressed experiences that continue to impact us to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy states that emotional and behavioral disturbances tend to stem from faulty thinking, and the way we think about our difficulties may reinforce misconceptions and assumptions we have about the world. Ultimately the goal is to confront our faulty beliefs and identify experiences that contradict them, eventually becoming more aware of automatic thoughts and how to change them.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Relational Cultural Therapy” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Relational Cultural Theory is grounded in the belief that we are all naturally driven to seek connection and acceptance through relationships, and that our identity and self-concept is formed by the context of the relationships we are in. As we move through disconnections, connections, and transformative relationships, it is the goal in therapy to develop growth-fostering relationships which can then lead to a better sense of self-worth.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Structural Family Therapy” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

When using Structural Family Therapy, I look at interactional patterns, unspoken rules, and boundaries within the family unit as a way to determine the cause of each individual\u2019s symptoms (i.e. anxiety, depression, isolation, etc.). The goal is to ultimately change the structure of the family and how each member interacts with others in order increase overall mental well-being within the family.<\/span><\/p>\n
