My approach to therapy is based upon the recognition that we as humans are complex creatures so there is no single approach to therapy that is perfectly suited for everyone in every situation. The framework from which I operate is primarily a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (challenging core beliefs/thoughts in order to better understand and improve ourselves) and Adlerian Therapy (recognizing how our past experiences and the social aspects of our lives connect to how we think and feel). I also am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) clinician. I believe that what often surfaces as “upsetting” or “stressful” in our present world is directly connected to how we have scripted and stored information and experiences in the brain. I believe empowerment comes from knowledge, realization, and more deliberate thought and action.
