Specialities
Never Stop Studying, for there is always something else to learn.
(Who didn't say that? ... Jobs, Einstein, Gandhi, Franklin, MLKjr, and on and on....
Since the beginning of time, we have been called upon to keep learning.
Having a therapist who understands the need for keeping current on modalities and techniques is vital to obtain improvement, meet goals, and see the desired outcomes.
At-home work is an important part of our journey together. Part of your path will be to become a specialist as well- One who understands yourself, why you are who you are, why you do/act/think as you do, and how to train your mind/body to work with your goals instead of against them.)
Trauma-Informed Care
Treating trauma through the use of various modalities that have proven to be effective. These include Trauma-Informed care, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR, Parts Therapy, Cognitive Restructuring, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, mindfulness/breathing/body awareness, somatic experiencing, effective coping skills, and interventions.
My goal is to help you thrive instead of survive - to feel as if you control your body & thoughts instead of them controlling you.
Neuropsychotherapy
Using the latest scientific methods to integrate positive self-talk, encourage growth of new neural networks (neuroplasticity), reprocessing and healing from past traumatic experiences, and use of neuroscience and brain-therapy skills to promote long-term recovery and healing.
Educating you on how your brain and body work together is an important part of giving you the best options towards healing.
Relationship with Self
Interventions to increase self-acceptance & worth/value, Behavior Modification, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eating Disorder curriculums, Substance Abuse interventions, Safety Assessments & Safety Planning, referrals, and other resources are all part of the ways we combat any form of self-directed negativity whether only in thoughts or practice.
Once you work within to obtain balance and peace, performance and outcomes are much easier to obtain.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change".
(Carl Rogers)
Accepting yourself, loving yourself, being your own best friend... these are the most important steps in your healing journey.
