My approach is always person centered incorporating modalities in a flexible integrative way to best fit the individual and their strength.
My style is to create partnerships through warmth and unconditional positive regard, trust, empathy, and humor. Together, we will shine a light on your inherent resiliency and strength while discovering ways to build on those things. Therapy is most effective when you begin to see change early on so we set clear measurable goals from the start. I will help you identify where you would like to be and what has kept you from getting there. Each of us holds wisdom unique to our experience.

Using an integrative, trauma sensitive, strengths-based approach, I incorporate a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic strategies to help clients develop greater insight, identify personal goals, understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and learn skills to facilitate improvement in overall functioning and well-being.
Most people seek out counseling when their independent efforts to resolve difficulties or heal from experiences in their life have been unsuccessful, and the desire for relief outweighs the common reluctance to ask for help. Your decision to engage in the hard work of therapy takes courage and vulnerability, and is a profound act of self-care that can yield lifelong benefits. Connecting with a therapist whom you can trust to guide and walk alongside you on this path is critical to this process.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
