Eclectic Therapy

I use an Eclectic therapy which is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I gather techniques from CBT, person centered, psychodynamic, existential, and a multitude of others to create a flexible approach.

We will collaborate to create an individualized trauma-informed experience to facilitate healing drawing on multiple modalities, including mindfulness, somatic, relational, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Expressive Arts.

I provide trauma-informed care that recognizes the impact of past experiences on your present well-being. Our therapeutic work will focus on building resilience, empowering you to heal, and tapping into your inherent strengths. I am trained in a range of therapeutic intervention styles, such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychoanalysis, EMDR, and more. Whether you prefer a specific approach or a more flexible and adaptable method, I will tailor our sessions to meet your evolving needs.

As an eclectic therapist I am able to use pieces of many different therapeutic orientations to best meet your needs. I am trained and versed in numerous treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Addiction Treatment, Mindfulness Based Treatment, Solution Focused, Etc. My training and understanding of numerous tools allows me to provide the most integrative and individualize care for you.

My approach focuses on pulling from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to meet the needs of the individual(s) in front of me.

I believe that every person has unique needs, preferences, and abilities. Everyone is their own constellation and I will work with you to discover what methods will best address your goals. I have been utilizing the Eclectic approach the entirety of my career and have found many ways to best tailor sessions and treatment to meet individual needs. I use methods that are scientifically proven to work, that go deeper than purely talk therapy, and in which I have been specifically trained.

I am trained in several modalities and draw on many of them depending on the individual client and what they are working on. I don't believe "one size fits all" and thats why I like to pull from different orientations to best serve my clients.

As an avid user of eclectic therapy, I excel at integrating the most relevant techniques from diverse therapeutic modalities to create highly effective, individualized treatment plans. I deeply value each of my client's uniqueness and adapt my approach to their specific needs, treatment goals, and motivations. My flexible and eclectic client-centered strategy ensures comprehensive and tailored therapeutic experiences, addressing each person's distinct challenges and fostering optimal outcomes.

"eclectic" simply means i do not exclusively follow any one or any few therapeutic modalities. i commit to an eclectic approach to honor the uniqueness of each client. i value remaining flexible and open so i can meet every client right where they are, as they are. i hope the information on my profile can offer a strong sense of the work i do and why i do the work i do.

I consider a variety of theoretical orientations when conducting therapy.

My graduate training, variety of work experience, and regular continuing education enables me to treat many different issues and draw from an ever-expanding knowledge base in my practice.

My eclectic approach allows my work with you to be fully present just for you. I don't use any one-size-fit-all plan or orientation, and can tailor our work together to meet your needs and the best application for your life.

Together we will discuss how you would like to use therapy to your benefit. We discuss your intentions / goals for therapy in the first session. I utilize any relevant tools/interventions/modalities Ive learned work to help guide your process. My approach is collaborative and empowering. In 1 session I may use CBT, Relationship coaching, strength based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. Someone with trauma I will work in tandem with another therapist using EMDR. The sky is not the limit!

I believe each client is unique and therefore I have multiple tools in my toolbox to help tailer therapy to each individuals needs. My goal is to meet you where you are at and walk your journey with you by shining light on areas that need time or attention. Some modalities I use include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Meditation, breathe work, and ACT.

Having worked with people since 1990 it is almost unavoidable that my approach is eclectic. I have learned so many things over the years and the initial things I learned have been adapted dozens of times. I have had training in the newer trendy things that are variations on the old themes. Attachment theory goes back to the 1940s and 1950s. The internal family system approach comes from work started in the 1980s based on family systems theory that was from the 1940s and 1950s as well.

I utilize an integrated approach of evidence-based practices in psychology. Clients can expect to learn techniques and coping skills from cognitive-behavioral, choice, and humanistic therapies.

I consider my work eclectic as I pull from many different traditions and teachings based on what my client's need. I am a Certified Sex Therapist (my work is sex-positive and affirming), I am a registered drama therapist, I am finishing my EMDR basic training, and work with couples using a combination of Sex Therapy techniques, Gotten Method (level 2 trained), and Imago. My work is based in somatics and the mind/body connection.

Therapy is not one size fits all, and I aim to tailor my therapeutic knowledge and skills to fit your needs.
