Trust, empathy, and safety are still the most important aspects of therapy, but those elements are often not sufficient to fully reverse issues like anxiety, chronic pain and depression. A great therapist creates an environment of understanding and caring and then provides you with the tools and empowerment to make significant change. The cutting edge of therapy for the past decade has been focused on the improvement of tangible tools and strategies that can be utilized once a warm therapist-client relationship is created. Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provide a clinically validated framework to create new brain patterns which allow us to feel more relaxed and at peace regardless of what’s happening in our environment. This framework allows the flexibility to include tools from:

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)

Psychodynamic Therapy

Once we build a strong environment of trust, I utilize my training and experience to help you discover the root cause of what’s holding you in a state of distress. We then collaborate on a tailored strategy that will get you feeling better.
