Psychotherapy

Theoretical Lens

​

I believe first and foremost that it is crucial that you feel safe in your process of healing through a secure and meaningful therapeutic bond.  Through my theoretically lens I maintain that over time this bond can create an internal sense of security and well being outside of therapy.  For this reason I offer an integration of Relational Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment-based therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapy.  This means that throughout the process of therapy you can expect to explore emotions presently experienced in sessions, themes from childhood, core motivations and beliefs, and client-directed solutions.  

 

I believe that approaching therapy this way can help you practice healthy boundaries, honest communication, and deeper intimacy through the therapeutic bond.  Additionally, I integrate mindfulness, grounding exercises, and parts work to help build self regulation tools, support your nervous system, and manage a variety of adverse symptoms.

I do not offer psychotherapy for couples at this time.  If you are interested in couples work see my notice below for more information.  Sessions may vary depending on your needs and problem areas and I encourage open and honest communication with me in order to ensure you are getting the most out of our appointments. 

 

Medically-Based Framework

​

Clients seeking mental health counseling should note that while my services are relational and client-directed in nature, they are still operating from within a mental health and medically-based framework.  This means you will be required to complete a full intake and assessment at the start of our work together.  We will go over your symptoms, related mental health diagnosis, and treatment plan together as well as periodic questionnaires to track your symptoms and measure your progress.  Each session will be documented with your diagnosis and treatment plan in mind.

 

These protocols, along with others relevant to your treatment, are important when trying to address any adverse symptoms affecting your daily life.  It is my hope when offering treatment in this way that you can experience a greater sense of clarity regarding your symptoms, see more measurable results, and feel a greater sense of wellness over time!
