Integrative Therapy

At Washington Psychological Wellness, we practice an integrative and holistic approach to healing, considering our clients’ mental, physical, and emotional health and interpersonal and spiritual well-being. We consider each individual as unique and therefore cater treatment to the client. Drawing from various modalities and practices, we can match you with a therapist who will understand your specific issues and tailor your therapy plans according to your needs.

I pull concepts and integrate techniques from a variety of theoretical backgrounds to personalize my therapeutic style to what resonates and works for you. All parts of you are welcome, and together, we can explore the many aspects of your lived experience in support of your personal growth and transformation.

I greatly appreciate an Integrative approach, and love the ethical code "do no harm." At Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) we learned several types of therapy, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, and others that can be included as an integrative therapy approach, such as feminist, gestalt, attachment, culturally sensitive, existential, Gottman method, Mindfulness, narrative, and more.

The approach I take with each client is unique to that client's needs. My approach is integrative, which means that, in addition to talk therapy, I incorporate education, mindfulness, movement, breathing exercises, art therapy, sexual health information, and EMDR in my sessions where appropriate. This style reflects my authentic personality, and my love of variety and creativity, and I have found over the years that it serves my clients extremely well.

Integrative Therapy combines evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs. I blend modalities like CBT, SFBT, and mindfulness to create a personalized approach that helps you move past obstacles, find clarity, and achieve your goals.

Integrative therapy allows me to pull from different modalities to ensure the best fit tailored to each clients unique needs.

Treatment can often aim to see what can be learned and introduced from various perspectives in practice, with this being common with most clients.

Therapy is based on each individual client and their specific needs. Having an understanding and being able to use multiple forms of therapy in different ways in important when being able to adjust for each individual client.

Through my experience with various therapeutic approaches, I specialize in integrative therapy, which allows us to create a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. A one-size-fits-all approach isn’t effective for every challenge you may face. Life is complex, and navigating the emotions and thoughts you experience daily is key to accepting your authentic reality in each moment. This approach empowers you to better understand yourself and overcome obstacles in a meaningful way.

No single approach works for everyone. I blend different techniques to fit your needs, whether you need structure, deep reflection, or a mix of both. Therapy should work for you, not the other way around.

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different therapeutic methods and theories, tailoring them to meet the unique needs of each individual client. By integrating various techniques, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and flexible treatment. We may incorporate elements from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other therapeutic approaches, to address clients' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns holistically.

I'm a lifelong learner, and a well-developed, skillful therapist. In years of graduate and post-graduate education, I've received various levels of training in the following modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, SE, EMDR, NVC, and IFS. I borrow tools and insights from all these therapies and integrate them for my client's benefit with my primary grounding and advanced training in systems-oriented (SCT) therapy and SAVI, which together offer a broad and deep framework for human challenges and growth.

I use an integrative approach to personalize therapy using different therapeutic modalities to best meet your unique needs. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I draw from evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness to create a holistic treatment plan. This approach considers the whole person—mind, body, and emotions—helping you develop self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change.

As a holistic and integrative therapist, I offer life affirming and culturally sensitive whole-person care that considers body, mind, emotions and spirit. I work collaboratively with you and my approach is highly individualized and tailored to your needs, whether it is a desire to find relief from stress now or longing for a deep transformation and healing in your life and relationships. Together, we will work towards your goals and help you build a more fulfilling, authentic and embodied life.

I believe that there are many paths to the same destination and therapy is no exception. My integrative style of psychotherapy is based on science with a heavy emphasis on self-compassion. I incorporate person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.

No two relationships are the same, which is why I take an integrative approach. I combine somatic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapies to address the mind, body, and emotions. Whether it’s trauma, emotional disconnection, or unhealthy conflict patterns, I tailor therapy to meet each couple’s unique needs—so you can stop running your relationship like a stressful group project.
