I practice a holistic approach to psychotherapy and coaching. My approach is trauma informed, influenced by DBT, CBT and behavioral interventions, as well as my knowledge of your history and patterns present in your life. While I don't fixate on the past, and our sessions will be focused on your future goals, your past influences your present, and we reflect on patterns when relevant, and their effect on your present life.You and I will collaborate and find the unique stress and relationship management techniques that work best for how you're wired, that feel authentic and easy to implement in your life. We'll explore ways we can improve your mood, lessen your anxiety, improve your interpersonal relationships, manage your ADHD and emotions better, and overall improve your self esteem and sense of self. You will leave empowered to be the hero of your life's journey, having built skills and resilience to overcome obstacles.When relevant I provide to clients resources and tools if they would like to continue doing the work we start in session on their own time, such as:
- book recommendations
- websites to exploreExploring and unblocking the "behind the scenes" beliefs and ways of thinking that are holding you back are valuable, and my psychodynamic and NLP (Nuero-Linguistic Programming) life coaching training supports us in exploring the unconscious patterns that stand in your way of achieving your goals and the life you would like to have.I vet my interventions to make sure they are evidence based and empirically supported, and regularly read peer reviewed journals and psychiatry articles to make sure my interventions are backed by strong scientific evidence.I am also a Certified Health Coach through Institute of Integrative Nutrition and incorporate aspects of nutritional psychiatry when relevant.
