Collaborative Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, or “therapy” for short, is a form of self care. Collaborative therapy, simply, we will work together, focused on your goals for treatment. Participation in therapy can result in a number of benefits to you including well being, improving interpersonal relationships, building new skills and resolving specific concerns. Change is possible.

My first priority, is creating an empathic, genuine and supportive relationship with each client. Researcher Bruce Wampold has reviewed what works in psychotherapy and highlights the importance of the therapeutic alliance. Your unique life context, preferences and needs will guide our process. Therapy may be swift and easy or take longer, depending on your goals.

I have been trained in many approaches that may be useful to integrate into our work together, as well as continue ongoing training to help strengthen my practice. Additionally, I continue my own psychotherapy and regularly gather with colleagues for consultation and support.  

Approaches we may utilize: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Collaborative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy/Contextual Family Therapy/Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Narrative Therapy, Self-Compassion Practices and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.
