Approach
Trauma-Informed
As humans, we inevitably endure challenges. The coping strategies that we learn from these challenges often inform the way that we show up in relationship with others and also the way that we deal with future emotionally overwhelming situations. When we acknowledge our wounds in a safe and supportive environment, we have the opportunity to reevaluate and reinform learned responses that no longer serve us.
Biopsychosocial–Spiritual Perspective
I believe that healing requires a holistic perspective. In other words, healing requires consideration of a person as a whole being - biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Practically, this might look like utilizing somatic interventions like breath work and body scanning to connect with the body and consider its role in healing. It may also involve journaling or utilizing spiritual or social support as a resource. Treatment plans are developed with each individual and their own personal story in mind.
Evidence-Based
As a professional counselor, I see it as my responsibility to regularly evaluate techniques and interventions utilized in the counseling room. Because of this, I consistently seek research and scientific studies that offer empirical data validating the effectiveness of tools offered to clients. In practice, I strive to offer practical and vetted interventions.
