I tailor the approach to fit my client needs in a more general sense or in the moment. Everyone is different! I will utilize and weave together things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a theory that operates out of the assumption that one’s pain is a result of dysfunctional core beliefs and thinking patterns called cognitive distortions. 

I also have extensive knowledge of family systems theory (the different ways a family functions through unspoken roles assigned to members), person-centered (considering all aspects of someone such as work, family, environment, politics, etc., and how they work together), as well as many different existential approaches such as spirituality (tarot, astrology, reincarnation), religious beliefs and finding your souls purpose! Very exciting stuff that blends so nicely with evidence-based practices. 

 I may also provide psychoeducation through book and/or concept recommendations, podcasts, infographics, and videos. My foundational approach is psychodynamic, but all serve a purpose and work together for each unique individual. All are provided through a trauma-informed lens.
