Therapy style
My style of therapy is client-centered, and I specialize in anxiety containment, trauma resolution, and resilience creation. I want to know who the person is that has chosen to come to therapy to improve their life. Clients can describe the areas of their life that they want to improve, and as these are recorded, individual therapy goals are created. This process is possible because I am often described as a master listener.
Once the goals for improvement have been established, a game plan can be created. Each client has strengths to build from to create a more effective way of thinking about their issues. This approach combines CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with Mindfulness to develop individual resilience skills and actions.
My background includes working with: 1) sexual trauma (co-founder of the Sexual Assault Center, Nashville, TN), 2) performance and anxiety containment (athletes, professionals, Army soldiers and families, students, and therapists), and 3) unique populations (LGBTQ+, people escaping childhood religious cultures, and veterans).
I look forward to assisting you in creating and executing a new game plan for your life.
