I first meet with each client to get to know them and determine what their goals are.
Together we come up with a plan and determine which form of treatment best suits them. I offer three different forms of treatment to help people on their healing journey.
Individual Psychotherapy: This involves meeting with the client, on average, once a week. We first set our goals for our work together and then I recommend which therapeutic modalities I believe would be best for them. The frequency and length of treatment varies depending upon the client and what their goals are. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment where we can work through present day issues as well as process issues from the past, depending upon each client’s wishes and life circumstances.
Intensives:This type of therapy is typically best suited for clients who want to work through past hardships and traumas. The structure of these intensives varies from client to client but typically involves meeting for 4-6 extended-length sessions, spaced a few weeks apart from each other. Many people find it difficult to do trauma work only once a week because it can be emotionally difficult and some people find it challenging to juggle this type of work with their regular daily lives. Also, doing trauma work on a weekly basis in a typical 50-60 minute session, can prolong the recovery process and many people prefer to speed up this process so they can be heal sooner than later and function more fully in their present day lives. Oftentimes, my intensive clients have a therapist that they continue to work with during our work together and continue with after our work is done. If someone does not already have a therapist they are working with, I have a colleague that I can refer them to for weekly psychotherapy during and after our trauma work is complete. During our intensive work I coordinate care with the weekly psychotherapist so that we can work together as a team to ensure the best outcome for clients.
Retreats: This form of treatment is also best suited for clients who want to work through past hardships and traumas and want to do it in the supportive environment of others who can relate to their difficulties. Due to COVID 19 retreats are currently not taking place. As restrictions loosen in the future, more information regarding my retreats will be located on this website.
