The Faithful Surrender Approach
I am classically trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I typically operate from an ACT approach and emphasize action-focused counseling, but call upon other modalities as needed.
I am founded in a human centered approach to counseling, which advocates for the inherent self-ability to grow and heal. Additionally, I fundmanetally believe that every person is a valuable creation and is worthy of love and support. As such, I take a more informal approach to counseling which emphasizes establishing a relational environment that fosters your growth.
I meet you as an equal. While I have specialized training and expertise, I am not the expert in you. Thus we must work together to effectuate meaningful change in your life as you so desire.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT prioritizes value-based action and adopts the simple evaluation of whether a thought, behavior or action is helpful or unhelpful. Thus we will never debate whether something is wrong or right, good or bad, etc. We will focus on whether something you are engaging with or doing is helping you move towards the person you want to be or away from the person you want to be.
What is experiential counseling?
Experiential counseling calls upon our natural ability to learn through experience, making the therapeutic setting an active place. Using activities curtailed to your needs, we help you to better process stuck energy and make connections. Experiential counseling helps you to efficiently move from who you are to who you want to be.
What do I treat?
Treatment itself can often be focused around symptoms or diagnoses. At times, this can be very helpful, and so I call upon this traditional style as appropriate. Meaning, if it is beneficial to you in some way to have a diagnosis established, or otherwise leaning into a technical approach to care, then we will do that.Otherwise, I find it helpful to embrace the individuality of treatment. Meaning, I naturally lean into understanding your needs, who you want to be, and what is getting in the way of the life you want to live. With this focus, we can be adaptive and direct in meeting your needs.
