My approach

During our time together I will be fully attentive to you; help you identify what symptoms or challenges interfere with your life; and reconnect to healthy and effective ways to move through life. I have found a combination of very analytical and very experiential therapeutic approaches and frameworks work best to accomplish UnMucking both my clients’ lives.

Cognitive Behavioral

I have taken concepts from this approach and will help you look at your thoughts from a distance. Then we can trace back stories about who you are and what you are running from.

Internal Family Systems

An experiential theory that connects you with parts of your personality that use old information to trigger unhelpful habits. We will do this by creating a more curious and non-combative approach to collaborate with your many competing internal drives and help UnMuck your daily experience.

Mindfulness

Both a therapeutic approach and a daily mindset that helps detach you from the stories your mind creates. This allows us to redirect your energy to check back into the world around you in the present moment and decrease unnecessary stressors.

Strengths Based

A framework that states you already have skills you need to enjoy life. We use this to help us turn behaviors that feel like liabilities, and refashion them into positive abilities. Every coping skill you have is there for a reason.

Systems Thinking

The idea that none of us exist in a bubble. We are formed by the groups and subgroups we are a part of. This includes our families; spiritual groups; friend groups; socioeconomic statuses; work cliques; and so much more. Knowing what has shaped you will help us sift through what’s worth keeping and what’s worth tossing.
