Arete Therapeutic Services

I believe that therapy is a process of discovering the underlying cause of symptoms in order to heal the wounds that created a foundation for what you are currently experiencing. I will help you develop skills to handle symptoms in the mean-time. Presenting concerns are the nervous system’s creative expression of the things that have happened to us. We will co-create a unique space that will facilitate healing on the deepest level through safety and connection. We will bring our skills, wisdom, experience, and personalities into the process together. In therapy, I use an integrated, eclectic approach from many models and theories including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Ego State Therapy, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS), Solution Focused Therapy, Attachment and Neurodevelopment, Somatic Psychology, and Polyvagal Theory. I work with adults who have experienced loss and grief, mood disorders, trauma and attachment wounding, childhood neglect and abuse, religious/spiritual abuse, crisis management, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and more.
