“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers
My philosophical approach in psychology has always been centered around the synthesiziation of acceptance and change. It is a key dialectic of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a therapy that was formative in my clinical conceptualization and practice. Like Carl Rogers, I similarly have been drawn to certain humanistic philosophies, particularly that each individual is unique. Together, these ideas have led me to an integrated approach to mental and emotional skills training that combines elements of DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered therapy. I see my primary goal as a coach to act as a supportive guide for clients, to lead them towards their self-identified goals as a person and athlete and which takes into consideration, their unique histories, values, and skills.
Clinical Education and Training
My clinical training includes over 5 years of hands on experience training in evidence-based psychological treatments and working with individual clients and groups. I completed over 600 hours of therapeutic work in individual, group therapy, and assessment during my doctoral in clinical psychology. This training further included over 2000 hours of support hours including didactic training, supporting reading, and coursework, as well as, over 600 hours of supervision with licensed psychologists. I worked in both community and university therapy settings, as well as, the Oregon State Hospital and the Veteran's Affairs Behavioral Department. Below is a summary of therapeutic approaches and experiences I'm trained in
