Individual therapy can help with symptom reduction, adjustment to life transitions and grieve, and relational issues caused by ineffective interpersonal behaviors.
When you are ready, individual therapy can also resolve self-defeating patterns caused by false beliefs about yourself and others. These can originate from hurtful experiences or relationships, adverse developmental experiences and traumas. Beginning with awareness, one can distance from the hold of the past and choose a new way of living.
With Individual Therapy I treat:
- Anxiety including generalized anxiety, OCD, social anxiety and phobias
- Depression and mood disorders
- Low self-esteem
- Emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Stress management
- Self-defeating patterns
- Relational issues including couple, parenting, family and patterns of relational difficulty
- Trauma including traumatic events and childhood trauma
It is essential to begin where you are. I seek first to listen empathically in order to truly understand my clients and their difficulties. Using an eclectic, collaborative approach we will target and build on your strengths. Working from a person-centered approach, I utilize evidenced-based therapies, integrating interventions to equip my clients with new coping tools, as well as insight into the origins of their difficulties that have led to unhelpful thinking, false beliefs and ineffective behaviors.
“Not all storms come to disrupt your life,
some come to clear your path”
-Paulo Coelho.
Depending on your personality, strengths and difficulties, I will integrate interventions from a variety of Treatment Modalities and Theoretical Orientations including:
- Attachment Theory
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Emotionally Focused Couple and Family Therapy (EFT)
- Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
- Dialectic Behavioral Skills Training (DBT)
- Interpersonal
I also integrate the latest findings on brain science, noting that we are rarely fixed beings; rather, we have great potential for change throughout our life-span due to the plasticity of the brain.
