Psychotherapy is a broad term used to describe the type of conversation that happens in counseling or therapy. Psychotherapy can be implemented by using many different theoretical orientations, yet all include conversation. This involves talk therapy and analysis of the challenges you are having. Cognitive-behavioral, Narrative, Acceptance-and-Commitment, and even Music or Play therapy are all different orientations implemented in psychotherapy. Ask your counselor for the type of psychotherapy you desire. Some orientations have more research supporting their effectiveness, such as Cognitive-Behavioral.

I believe psychotherapy helps teach us how to have healthy relationships, cope with life stressors, and learn to love and accept ourselves. Within my psychotherapy sessions and groups I begin with identifying what your presenting problem is and we begin to work on solving how you got to this problem. I often discuss the importance of self love, assertiveness, and the importance of communicating effectively. I work with my clients to lift them up and empower them to recognize unhealthy habits and relationships and replace them with sustainable healthy habits that benefit them in every aspect of their lives.

Psychotherapy can be greatly beneficial to you if you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulties adjusting to a situation in your life, trouble communicating with others, difficulties managing stress, or feeling stuck in life. Psychological counseling can help you decrease feelings of anxiety or depressed mood, manage stress more effectively, improve communication with others, decrease unwanted thoughts, increase self-care, and make healthier decisions. Along with support and encouragement, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you effectively meet your personal goals.
