Integrative Therapy

I greatly appreciate an Integrative approach, and love the ethical code "do no harm." At Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) we learned several types of therapy, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, and others that can be included as an integrative therapy approach, such as feminist, gestalt, attachment, culturally sensitive, existential, Gottman method, Mindfulness, narrative, and more.

The approach I take with each client is unique to that client's needs. My approach is integrative, which means that, in addition to talk therapy, I incorporate education, mindfulness, movement, breathing exercises, art therapy, sexual health information, and EMDR in my sessions where appropriate. This style reflects my authentic personality, and my love of variety and creativity, and I have found over the years that it serves my clients extremely well.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a range of therapeutic models to create a personalized treatment plan right for you. Rather than adhering strictly to one method, I use integrative therapy to combine my knowledge and skills from a variety of therapy models that make you most comfortable and confident with your work with me. Integrative therapy helps me make your therapy more effective for you.

CBT is great but doesn't solve everything. I have learned and practice many different styles of treatment. I think of them as parts in a tool box that I can pull out depending on what the patient presents with. I regularly utilize attachment theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic concepts, strategic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and positive psychology.

I believe that there are many paths to the same destination and therapy is no exception. My integrative style of psychotherapy is based on science with a heavy emphasis on self-compassion. I incorporate person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.

I practice from a holistic, integrative (body-mind-spirit) approach that allows all dimensions of your experience to be included in treatment. My approach empowers you to tap into all of your resources and connect with your full potential.

I believe flexibility in the therapeutic process is essential. This may require integration of other therapeutic techniques and modalities (within my scope of practice & scope of competence). This may, at times, include collaboration with other members of your clinical/support team.

I don't believe in "one size fits all" therapy. We're all unique with a unique set of experiences and goals, and I treat approach each client that way. We work together to determine your goals, and then I use my skills to determine which treatment modalities would help you get there. For some, we use Narrative Therapy to tell your story and combine that with Ration Emotive Behavioral Therapy to combat any unhelpful thinking. My main modalities are narrative, REBT, and reality therapy.

I believe that individual therapy is just that: therapy for an individual person. What I mean by that is that there are commonalities to most successful therapies, however, each therapy and treatment plan needs to be catered to the specific individual I'm working with. Therefore, I often utilize and am informed by different modalities/theories in order to better understand you.

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different therapeutic methods and theories, tailoring them to meet the unique needs of each individual client. By integrating various techniques, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and flexible treatment. We may incorporate elements from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other therapeutic approaches, to address clients' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns holistically.

I offer an eclectic and integrative therapeutic approach depending on your presenting concerns. Working through a trauma-informed and relationally-based lens, I incorporate evidence-based practices to target your unique needs. The most influential aspect of therapy is the relationship we build, and my number one priority is to be your cheerleader, confidant, and trusted guide as we embark on this journey of healing and growth.

I believe in a integrated approach to therapy, utilizing tools and interventions that can best help the client. Not every tool and intervention works for every client, so I find it best to have a large tool chest.
