My approach to counseling is culture centered and integrative. This orientation means that I prioritize your perspective, worldview, and experiences over a single theoretical approach to counseling. There are many counseling and psychotherapy theories that are evidence based and effective, but research has demonstrated that they are only valuable when they can be adapted and personalized to fit an individuals lived experience.
In other words, I utilize a range of evidence based counseling approaches to provide effective counseling support, but I will do so with care and skill to first and foremost, align with your worldview.
I draw upon the following evidence based treatments for anxiety, depression, and stress related disorders:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
Interpersonal Neurobiology
Humanistic Psychotherapy
Existential Psychotherapy
Effective counseling is built upon a dynamic and safe therapeutic relationship. Together, I will work with you to enhance strengths and resources, sources of meaning, and purposeful engagement in the world.
