Eclectic Therapy

I don't believe that any one type of therapy fits every client. I may pull techniques or methods from different therapeutic modalities so that you have a well rounded experience.

I pull from a ton of different modalities to customize the therapy experience to the individual client. Some of my favorites are EMDR, IFS, DBT, geek therapy, narrative therapy, and EFT. Everything I do is trauma-informed, consent based, and focused on harm reduction and that includes therapeutic modalities. I welcome feedback from my clients, and if something isn't working for you, then we'll find something better together.

Each client is different and I pool from a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities to tailor my care for each individual client.

We believe that we are complex people and we work from a lens of exploring your whole life. We value creating a safe place space to understand your true identity and thrive in your current situation. We believe that our clients are experts on themselves and collaborate with you in our work together. We use evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and we adjust our approach to fit your needs. We also incorporated clay, art, and horses.

I always try to incorporate humor into my sessions to alleviate stress and help clients find some joy, even for a moment, in their lives.

I believe each client is unique and therefore I have multiple tools in my toolbox to help tailer therapy to each individuals needs. My goal is to meet you where you are at and walk your journey with you by shining light on areas that need time or attention. Some modalities I use include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Meditation, breathe work, and ACT.

Just as many other therapists, I recognize that one treatment modality may not be the best fit for everyone who chooses to work with me. That is why I will utilize not only DBT and SFBT but also the treatment modalities listed on my profile. I use a variety of treatment modalities so that we can find the right one for you. I'm receptive to all feedback and want to make sure we address your concerns in a way that works for you.

In my practice, I utilize a variety of modalities and theoretical orientations. To me, there is no one size fits all therapy. I believe that by creating a collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients, they can discover the tools within themselves to create meaningful change.

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.

I use a combination of different approaches depending on what your specific needs are. Ultimately, I don't believe that one form of therapy is better than another.

I like to consider myself an Eclectic therapist, which means in essence that I use several therapy theories that fit the needs of people I'm working with for a maximum positive outcome. I don't think that " one size fits all ". The world can be a complicating place to navigate so we need to use all the tools we can to strengthen our inter resources to live fulfilling lives.

I offer a variety of tools: EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed cognitive work, anger expression, art work using SoulCollage(r), somatic work including breath training, use of 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions and more.

I'm extensively trained and experienced in a number of treatment modalities- Soldier's Heart, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Gottman Method Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic Therapy, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), and more. BUT... I meet you where YOU are, I don't impose any agenda on you and what you're dealing with.

Eclectic just means I pull a lot of different ideas, skills, or practices from a lot of different modalities. I find the best approach is as individual as each of my clients and usually involves more than one idea/technique. I frequently utilize cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness exercises, emphasizing self-care, while also keeping focus on motivations and goals. I provide a safe space to explore whatever aspect(s) of your life you want to examine and possibly change.

Everyone comes to therapy with different needs and goals. As an eclectic therapy practitioner, I draw upon multiple disciplines and therapeutic tools to address the unique needs of each client, depending on their presenting problem, treatment goals, and personal preferences. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy, and I will draw upon my more than two decades of direct practice experience to work with you as we discover the therapeutic tools best suited to you.

Eclectic Therapy is when the therapist uses a multitude of therapeutic schools and techniques. I find every client to be unique, so are the client's needs. Thus, I use a breath of therapeutic approaches in order to meet the client where they're at versus try and fit a client into a certain mold of therapy that may not be advantageous for their healing.

"eclectic" simply means i do not exclusively follow any one or any few therapeutic modalities. i commit to an eclectic approach to honor the uniqueness of each client. i value remaining flexible and open so i can meet every client right where they are, as they are. i hope the information on my profile can offer a strong sense of the work i do and why i do the work i do.

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.
