Approach – Integrated Therapy BK

Approach

We will work together in an individualized process to create change and growth in your life. Integrating techniques of traditional psychotherapy with practices like meditation and body awareness, I will guide you in unlocking your inner healing abilities to find peace and happiness. This approach is tailored to your individual and unique needs, whether you are looking for relief from daily stressors, support during a life transition, are working through a traumatic experience, or even in need of intensive therapy for more difficult emotional and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

Psychodynamic Therapy

What you might think of as “traditional talk therapy,” this approach allows us make connections between childhood and family of origin to current struggles, which allows an end to unconsciously repeating patterns stemming from the conditions of early life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Using a more concrete and structured approach, CBT looks specifically at how distorted thoughts lead to maladaptive behaviors which lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. We work on changing the cycle to thoughts that lead to desired behaviors and feelings.

Somatic Experiencing

Big and small traumas throughout life disrupt the nervous system and can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or in physical pain and discomfort. By tuning into the body with SE, we learn to regulate the nervous system and release stuck energy and pain.

Meditation

Research shows what Buddhists and Eastern practitioners have known for thousands of years- the benefits of practicing meditation are life changing, due to actual changes in brain functioning. We can meditation together and help build a sustainable meditation practice.

Neuroscience

Knowing how the brain works allows us to better understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps us understand the most effective ways to make changes.

Buddhist Philosophy

Learning how to work with the unruly mind is a big part of what Buddhists practice, specifically understanding the nature suffering and how to end it.

Mindfulness

Learning how to increase awareness of the five senses, bodily sensations, thoughts, and feelings can allow for acceptance of the present moment. This acceptance is necessary to make growth and changes.
