Psychotherapy Services

Psychotherapy sessions are informed by a relational and systemic approach looking at what is present, rather than focusing solely on diagnosis and treatment. This approach considers the many factors that influence a person, including their environment, relationships, connection between the mind and body, and overall well-being. Sessions may involve verbal psychotherapy (as we know it), informed by, but not limited to, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and internal family systems (IFS).

EFT brings attention to emotions and emotional regulation in interactions between individuals, with exploration of our intimate relationships with each other.

CBT brings emphasis to our thinking patterns, ongoing themes, and habits of behaviors that may be interfering. Awareness of our thinking patterns or habits can assist in movement towards a level of change to promote more ease.

SFBT facilitates movement of problems towards solutions. Most problems occur in interactions with others, and solutions come forward in exploring new interactions to do something different. 

IFS explores the interplay between our different parts of self. These are aspects of ourselves that may have various feelings, emotions, or thoughts that may vary from each other. All parts are respected and honored. This is systemic and relational; looking at how each part functions independently and together, just as individuals in relationship with their environment.

In addition, psychotherapy services may also incorporate hypnotherapy, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), somatic work (through craniosacral therapy (CST) and somatoemotional release (SER), EMDR, hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness), Access Consciousness/Bars, meditation or mindfulness, and a variety of supplementary activities that can assist in the therapeutic process.

Sessions are geared towards individual’s needs and modalities are tailored; not all modalities are utilized for all clients. I work as a facilitator to one’s process and with a collaborative approach between the therapist and the client in which mutual respect is honored. In addition, I provide services to clinicians to facilitate self-care and promote wellness in servicing others. 

Sessions may assist in a variety of areas including, but not limited to:
