Therapeutic Approach:

I am an enthusiastic advocate of strength’s perspective, client-centered approaches and solution focused work and strive to foster a safe and judgment free environment that is relaxed and comfortable.

Client-center approaches

Client-centered therapy, a hallmark of humanistic psychology embodies a profound shift in therapeutic dynamics. This approach places the client at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness from the therapist. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, client-centered therapy encourages self-exploration, allowing individuals to tap into their own wisdom and insights. This collaborative journey of self-discovery fosters personal growth and self-actualization, empowering clients to navigate their challenges and forge a deeper connection with their authentic selves.

Neuroscience Trauma-Focused Approach

The Neuroscience Trauma-Focused Approach in trauma therapy marries cutting-edge scientific insights with compassionate healing. Grounded in the understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, this approach combines neuroscience principles with therapeutic techniques to address trauma's intricate effects. By tailoring interventions to regulate and restore the nervous system's balance, individuals are guided through a journey of processing and healing traumatic experiences. This synergy of neuroscience and therapy offers a path towards reclaiming well-being, promoting resilience, and paving the way for transformative recovery from the complex aftermath of trauma.

Strength’s perspective

The Strengths Perspective in therapy illuminates a refreshing outlook, focusing on an individual's inherent resilience and positive qualities. Rather than focusing solely on weaknesses or challenges (which are also real and not to be ignored), this approach, rooted in empowerment, aims to uncover and harness an individual's strengths, resources, and capacities. By recognizing and building upon these strengths, therapists collaborate with clients to co-create solutions, fostering a sense of agency and fostering a more optimistic and proactive path towards personal growth and healing.

Solution-focused

Solution focused efforts focus on creating a clear understanding of what you would like your future to entail, and building solutions

Daring WAy PHILOSOPHY

The Daring Way™ is an empirically based program to help people really lean into their lives based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. There are three primary curriculum. The first being, The Gifts of Imperfections which facilitates growth for you to be wholeheartedly you. The second is Daring Greatly, which assists you to live a life of being “all in” by showing up, being seen and living brave. The third being Rising Strong, which allows you to rise up from the inherent falls that are inevitable in life if we are living bravely.

Internal family systems

Internal Family Systems envisions the mind as a collection of distinct, interacting "parts" that contribute to a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These parts can range from protective mechanisms to wounded aspects of the self. IFS aims to promote healing and harmony by fostering a compassionate dialogue and understanding between these parts, ultimately leading to a more integrated and balanced sense of self. Through this innovative approach, individuals can navigate their internal complexities and embark on a journey towards self-discovery and personal transformation.

Somatic Sex Therapy

Somatic sex therapy is a profoundly empowering approach to healing and self-discovery within the realm of human sexuality. By recognizing the inherent wisdom and resilience of the body, somatic sex therapy encourages individuals to explore their sexuality in a safe and non-judgmental space. Through embodied practices, mindfulness, and therapeutic techniques, clients are guided to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim agency over their desires, and navigate past traumas or societal conditioning that may inhibit their sexual expression. This empowering journey fosters a deeper sense of self-acceptance, confidence, and authenticity, empowering individuals to embrace their unique erotic identities and cultivate more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Somatic sex therapy honors each person's innate capacity for growth and transformation, inviting them to step into their power and live authentically in alignment with their deepest desires and values.
