My Approach to Therapy
I am trained in several therapeutic approaches that enable me to tailor our therapy to best meet your needs and your own approach to change.
Here are some links to information about some of the approaches that I am trained in and use:
Therapy Approaches
A respectful, non-blaming and non-pathologizing approach that centers you—the client—as the expert in, and author of, your own life.
In narrative therapy, problems are outside of you (rather than intrinsic to you). This externalization separates you from the problem and empowers you (and others you might have in your life) to regain agency over the problem.
A philosophical approach with an emphasis on freedom, responsibility, and our capacity to be the authors of our own lives.
Existential therapy views freedom, choice, responsibility, and authenticity as key themes in change and healing.
An approach that views change not as a single event but as a process comprising several stages.
In the Stages of Change Model (formally known as the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change), the change process comprises six stages through which one moves in and out of along a path toward a different way of living.
