Eclectic Therapy

I consider myself the anti-magician of therapy. Early on I will help you define goals and come back with a menu of recommended, research based treatment options. WE will collaborate on what your treatment will look like and I will let you know all the 'tricks' I use and why. Our time together will be custom fit to you, your goals, and your needs.

I am knowledgeable about and trained in many modalities and interventions, but above all I take a flexible, integrative approach. I tend to draw on multiple techniques for an individualized, multifaceted therapy experience for my clients.

I use an eclectic therapy approach, which allows me to draw from multiple therapeutic techniques to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. This flexibility ensures that I can address a wide range of issues, from trauma and anxiety to depression and life transitions. By combining different methods, I can adapt to what works best for the client, offering a personalized path to healing and growth that evolves as the client's needs change throughout therapy.

By meeting my clients where they are, I am able to collaboratively identify problem areas and create a plan to meet their individual needs.

As an eclectic therapist I am able to use components of many different therapeutic orientations to best meet your needs. I am trained 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 many tools allows me to provide the most integrative and individualized care for you.

In my sessions, I like to use approaches that best fit the client. I pull from CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, family systems and strength based approaches.

Eclectic Therapy is the therapeutic practice of curtailing a wide variety of therapeutic exercises to best fit your needs. In sessions with me, we will learn more about the things you want to work on and find the tools that fit best for you.

With an eclectic approach, I take the best parts of several modalities so that I can tailor therapy to the individual client. I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Feminist Therapy, Gestalt, and Person-Centered Therapy.

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.

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 am constantly participating in trainings and staying up to date on research to utilize any approach that may benefit my clientele.

I use a combination of Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches.

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.

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.

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

As a therapist I borrow from different approaches and in my work I blend them. I am trained in Structural and Strategic Family Therapy and in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, but I borrow ideas and techniques from Cognitive Therapy. Like most therapists, I use techniques of listening, reflecting, exploring history, and creating a relationship, that are grounded in Rogerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

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.
