I am trained in a variety of traditional and non-traditional treatment methods that I integrate in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. While grounded in scientifically proven methods such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I also integrate with treatment methods such as Positive Psychology which emphasizes the development of strengths over targeting weaknesses, and hypnotherapy approaches that incorporate subconscious and body-based processes.

Therapy is a unique opportunity to learn more about yourself and explore the underlying roots of why you think and feel the way you do. By peeling back the layers, you can identify how past experiences have changed the way you operate and interact with others. You can you learn how changes in thinking habits and beliefs about yourself can dramatically affect how you feel. Therapy is an opportunity to have a safe space to explore and process your thoughts and feelings that you can't with your partner, friends, or family. It's an opportunity to recieve honest non-judgemental feedback that others in your life may not provide.

I strongly believe in psychotherapy, because I have counseled hundreds of people in group and individual therapy in this way. Many people have the belief that they often just "need to manage my medications" and that meeting just to talk with a counselor is a waste of time. People need to talk and to process their 'story', that is, where they've been, where they are now, and where they want to go in their life. Medication only helps with physiological issues and brain chemistry; psychotherapy gives a person context, and helps them make better, more informed decisions about their life and gives them information (not medication) to make wise life decisions.
