I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. This philosophy focuses on moving towards core values and learning to recognize behaviors that prevent us from seeking those values. I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques, which use acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behavior change strategies to increase psychological flexibility. We can use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to manage issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Interpersonal psychotherapy and insight-oriented therapy are other treatment modalities that are helpful when dealing with social skills challenges.
I also offer Walk & Talk Therapy. This style of therapy has been around for several years, and it is a big contrast to sitting on a couch talking about problems. More evidence is pointing to the connection between the mind and body. Because movement improves our physical health and mental clarity, this type of therapy is very effective for those people who feel stuck.
