I use an integrative approach, incorporating the following evidence-based practices:

To understand what you're going through, we will focus on: your early childhood and relationships with your parents; subconscious drives and gut instincts; unmet needs; learned aspects of your behaviors/thoughts; and defense mechanisms.

To conceptualize how you respond to life's stressors, we may explore who you are as a person and your perceived place in the world. We will dig into different parts of your self and how you find meaning in your life.

I believe embracing our ability to make choices in our lives can dramatically alleviate our suffering. To help understand your behaviors and relationships, we will evaluate the roles of choice and personal accountability in the issues you're facing.

Emotions inform your thoughts and decision making, and your body often experiences emotions before your brain does. To gain insight, we will investigate how your body indicates and responds to emotions. We will examine your relationship to uncomfortable emotions (like anger or anxiety) and work toward increasing your tolerance of those emotions.
