Eclectic Therapy

I am an eclectic therapist in that I pull from a number of different therapeutic orientations and modalities to best support each individual client. There are some overarching grief theories that I utilize AND I don't believe in a one size fits all approach. Your loss was unique to you so your therapy experience gets to be unique to you as well. I like to work with my clients to better understand what tools and approaches are going to be the best fit for them.

I do my best to customize your experience to what will work for you.

This approach aims to discover and implement the most effective treatment for each individual. So instead of following a specific model structure, it pulls from various therapy techniques to treat each person as unique individuals.

I'm extensively trained and experienced in a number of treatment modalities- Soldier's Heart, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Gottman Method Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic Therapy, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), and more. BUT... I meet you where YOU are, I don't impose any agenda on you and what you're dealing with.

According to the American Psychological Association, Eclectic Psychotherapy

Eclectic just means I pull a lot of different ideas, skills, or practices from a lot of different modalities. I find the best approach is as individual as each of my clients and usually involves more than one idea/technique. I frequently utilize cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness exercises, emphasizing self-care, while also keeping focus on motivations and goals. I provide a safe space to explore whatever aspect(s) of your life you want to examine and possibly change.

We use a variety of treatment modalities that are interwoven based on each individual's unique presentation and needs. We use many brain-body integrated approaches, like mindfulness/meditation as an example.

I always try to incorporate humor into my sessions to alleviate stress and help clients find some joy, even for a moment, in their lives.

As a therapist I borrow from different approaches and in my work I blend them. I am trained in Structural and Strategic Family Therapy and in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, but I borrow ideas and techniques from Cognitive Therapy. Like most therapists, I use techniques of listening, reflecting, exploring history, and creating a relationship, that are grounded in Rogerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

Eclectic therapy is a flexible approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. This approach allows me to use the most effective methods available to address your unique needs.

I use several approaches to therapy and find that individual approaches to each person’s needs often produces the best results. Eclectic therapy a focuses on a collaborative approach between the client and therapist in order to customize and provide individually tailored treatment.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.

I use different approaches for those who are experiencing different symptoms, or problems in life. These approaches, including CBT, or ACT techniques, show strong results and offer insights to specific symptoms.

Eclectic therapy means that I incorporate interventions and techniques from many different types of treatment orientations. I believe that each client needs individualized treatment and do not use a single orientation for this reason. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy.

My eclectic approach allows my work with you to be fully present just for you. I don't use any one-size-fit-all plan or orientation, and can tailor our work together to meet your needs and the best application for your life.

My approach draws from the insight and wisdom of several different theories, which includes attachment, cognitive behavioral, existential, humanistic, mindfulness and relational. In utilizing diverse ways of addressing client's desires for personal growth, emotional healing and intentional movement forward, I can support you in 'connecting the dots' and gaining insight, both from your own inherent wisdom and the wisdom of others.
