Eclectic Therapy

We believe that we are complex people and we work from a lens of exploring your whole life. We value creating a safe place space to understand your true identity and thrive in your current situation. We believe that our clients are experts on themselves and collaborate with you in our work together. We use evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and we adjust our approach to fit your needs. We also incorporated clay, art, and horses.

I like to think of my therapy as eclectic. I have a grab bag of styles and skills that I use as a client needs them.

Eclectic just means I pull a lot of different ideas, skills, or practices from a lot of different modalities. I find the best approach is as individual as each of my clients and usually involves more than one idea/technique. I frequently utilize cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness exercises, emphasizing self-care, while also keeping focus on motivations and goals. I provide a safe space to explore whatever aspect(s) of your life you want to examine and possibly change.

Eclectic to me, means a model that allows me to integrate different approaches and theories to best serve my client's needs. I was trained to listen deeply in a very robust, clinical, client-centered, and holistic model of psychotherapy where issues like anxiety and depression could be engaged with from either a psychodynamic perspective or a cognitive behavioural one. When notions from the world of Gestalt therapy are helpful, then I will use those etc.

I have incorporated the following therapy approaches in my sessions: CBT, trauma-focused CBT, Person-Centered therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Career counseling, Grief therapy, Mindfulness-based CBT, Attachment theory, and Narrative therapy.

Eclectic therapy draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It allows me to use a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy using the most effective methods available to address each person's individual needs.

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'm always eager to integrate holistic, intuitive, and eclectic methods including dream therapy and bibliotherapy. As a Focusing Oriented Therapist (a somatics based practice), which comes from the Gendlin school of thought. This allows clients an opportunity to get out of their heads, into their bodies, and engage polyvagal regulation.

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.

I believe personal struggles are not a result of a person but rather a variety of life factors & an overall maladaptive process with the goal of developing a healthier process. So, I utilize a process based approach which allows for an individualized approach that focuses on the maladaptive processes that an individual will engage while working to implement more adaptive behaviors & processes. In my toolbox is CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, attachment, somatic, positive psychology & psychodynamic.

The field of Social Work, unlike other mental health fields, orients itself to a "person-in-environment" perspective. This means that no one modality is going to prove effective in treating every client. You are as unique as the history you bring into the room with you, therefore I pull skills and tools from the therapies listed below as we continue to progress through your therapeutic process together.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible approach that allows the therapist to use the most effective method to address each individual client's needs.

Eclectic therapy is a type of therapy that seeks to directly meet the client and their needs by utilizing multiple therapy approaches in order achieve the best treatment for each individual client.

It's likely that the therapeutic needs and treatment orientations you most benefit from will be organic and changing. Therefore, approaches will be tailored to you, and will vary according to what benefits you most. Humans tend to dabble in the gray. I will always closely observe what your needs are by listening, asking questions, learning and discerning what will benefit you most. This means that aspects of client-directed therapy, integrative therapy, DBT, CBT, and many more will be tailored.

Just as many other therapists, I recognize that one treatment modality may not be the best fit for everyone who chooses to work with me. That is why I will utilize not only DBT and SFBT but also the treatment modalities listed on my profile. I use a variety of treatment modalities so that we can find the right one for you. I'm receptive to all feedback and want to make sure we address your concerns in a way that works for you.

I believe that every client's story is different and should be treated as such. The best practice I have found is Eclectic Therapy, meaning I do not only use one approach within my sessions. I take my time to get to know my clients and understand where they are coming from, so that I can choose the best approach that works for them. That usually consists of a variety of different strategies in order to treat each person as unique individuals.

Eclectic therapy is an open, integrative form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the treatment goals, and the person’s expectations and motivation.. In effect, an eclectic therapist customizes the therapeutic process for each individual by using whatever form of treatment, or combination of treatments, has been shown to be most effective for treating the particular problem.

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.

Eclectic Therapy means I have a lot of tools in my toolbox to share with you. I can pull from many types of modalities to find a mix that's perfect for you.
