Philosophy

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health treatment. This philosophy focuses on a combination of mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, academic, and social elements. Depending on the nature of problem, we can use individual, couple, or family counseling. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to manage issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Interpersonal psychotherapy and insight-oriented therapy are other treatment modalities.

There is not one therapeutic approach that works for every person. We will work together to find a treatment style and goal for your family. The number of therapy sessions varies, and your growth will be discussed throughout your treatment.

Walk & Talk Therapy

I also offer Walk & Talk Therapy. This style of therapy has been around for several years, and it is a big contrast to sitting on a couch talking about problems. More evidence is pointing to the connection between the mind and body. Because movement improves our physical health and mental clarity, this type of therapy is very effective for those feeling stuck. Sitting stagnant in an office can sometimes result in dull problem-solving skills, but walking outside gets the blood flowing to the brain, thus improving positive thoughts and creativity.

We meet at a local park for your session (location and directions will be provided). This approach is not a workout and we will walk at an easy pace. Clients are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. FAQ's about Walk & Talk Therapy can be found here.
