My Approach

My approach within our therapeutic relationship tends to be more collaborative, warm, and empathetic. I truly believe that together, we can create a strong and secure relationship that can help you approach your fears rather than avoiding them. I tend to be highly engaged within our relationship. Often, I will utilize aspects of our relationship to highlight barriers to change and provide a warm and directive approach to push you towards growth. Although I utilize traditional talk therapy, I also enjoy utilizing experiential methods. I like to make therapy fun! At times, we may move both inside and outside of the therapy room to address your unique needs through exposures, art, movement, and psychodrama. I also have completed my basic training and continue to receive training and consultation utilizing EMDR. I'd be happy to answer any questions about my specific approach through a free phone consultation.
