Evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs
I use a strengths-based approach and techniques from my advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy. The path we take together is largely dependent on where you want to focus your time.
EFT is an attachment-based therapy with extensive research supporting its efficacy, particularly in helping couples. It focuses on helping couples restructure negative patterns in their relationship to create more understanding and patience.
I primarily use EFT in couples counseling, though I also incorporate EFT principles and techniques in individual therapy when appropriate. EFT helps you move through difficult conversations that formerly would be triggering while maintaining a sense of closeness with one another.
EFT has extensive research supporting its efficacy. Studies show that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and approximately 90% show significant improvement. The effects are also long-lasting, with improvements maintained over time.
CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
I use CBT techniques, particularly in individual therapy, to help you with anxiety, depression, and other concerns. CBT is especially effective for developing practical skills to manage symptoms and improve your daily functioning.
Narrative Therapy is a respectful approach that honors your life experiences and helps you rewrite your story in ways that empower and strengthen you.
I am respectful of the life experiences and narratives that you bring to therapy and how those experiences have shaped you. Narrative Therapy helps you see yourself as separate from your problems and empowers you to create new, more positive narratives about yourself and your life.
While I have training in these specific approaches, I don't use them in isolation. Instead, I integrate techniques from different modalities based on what will be most helpful for you.
The path we take is largely dependent on where you want to focus your time and what resonates with you.
I build on your existing strengths and resources rather than focusing solely on problems.
We work together as partners, with your goals and preferences guiding our work.
I adapt my approach based on your needs, what's working, and what you're comfortable with.
The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful therapy. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. If you're curious about how I might work with you, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation.
