"Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary."

Benefits of Psychotherapy

Why does talk therapy work?  Human beings are wired to connect.  Our social brains are not built to cope with life alone; our neurobiology is wired to seek safety, security, and co-regulation through relationships.  Therapy taps into this knowledge of our innate ability to help others heal under the right conditions. In a learning-environment of attunement, connection, and empathy it is possible to stimulate structural changes within the brain leading to real and lasting growth.  Here are just a few of the potential benefits of psychotherapy:

  • Safe place to examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
  • Gain knowledge about your diagnosis and reduce related symptoms
  • Gain a better understanding of yourself
  • Enhance ability for self-reflection
  • Create a cohesive narrative of life stories
  • Develop effective coping skills for difficult life situations

INTERVENTION SPECIALTIES

The therapeutic alliance is an essential part of progress in therapy, but it is only one piece of the puzzle for creating change and improving resiliency in clients.  I often blend elements from different approaches in order to tailor treatment according to each client’s needs.  Below is a list of the different interventions I may implement throughout the course of treatment:

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Schema Therapy
  • Attachment-Informed theories
  • Neurobiological Theories
  • Systemic Theories
