Approach & Method
In my therapy practice, I focus on understanding a person's entire experience, viewing them holistically rather than dissecting their experiences into smaller parts. I prioritize the present moment, encouraging clients to explore their current feelings and behaviors within a safe space. Using creative and experiential techniques, I help clients connect their immediate perceptions to broader life challenges, allowing them to uncover and address unresolved issues for deeper self-awareness and personal growth.
My approach is influenced by principles of visual perception, such as recognizing patterns in thoughts and behaviors. This helps clients see the bigger picture and understand how different aspects of their lives are interconnected. I view the therapeutic process as a journey of integration, weaving together various facets of a person's life into a coherent whole. This holistic perspective enriches my understanding of human behavior and allows me to provide comprehensive and empathetic support, fostering a deeper connection with each client.
Additional Methods
I create a personalized therapy plan for each client, integrating various methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Self-Determination Theory, Trauma-Focused therapy, and approaches focused on LGBTQ+ experiences. This blend allows me to offer a tailored approach that matches each client's unique problems, aims, and situations.
For example, ACT helps clients accept their thoughts and emotions without judgment, encouraging them to take actions aligned with their personal values and adapt to different situations. Self-Determination Theory boosts motivation and independence by helping clients pursue their goals in a way that feels right to them. Trauma-Focused therapy techniques carefully address and heal past traumatic experiences, improving coping strategies. For LGBTQ+ clients, I provide therapy that pays special attention to our unique challenges and life experiences, ensuring a supportive and validating environment for exploring identity and relationships.
By thoughtfully blending these therapy styles, I aim to give each client a tailored and effective therapy experience, promoting personal growth and healing in a caring and respectful setting.
