My Theoretical Orientation
I work from an "integrative" approach, which means that I synthesize knowledge and apply techniques from multiple schools of psychology and other disciplines. It always seemed counter-productive that therapists chose one or two limited perspectives to operate in when it is clear that there are huge pools of knowledge in other approaches and fields of study that could help their clients.
In practice, I incorporate techniques from Cognitve-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Existential/Humanistic Approaches, Mindfulness, Gestalt Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, & Jungian depth psychology; theory and research from Developmental, Social, Evolutionary, Neuro, and Personality Psychology; and knowledge from Biology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology, History, Political Science, Art, Literature, and Religious and Cultural Studies.
Essentially, I believe that the universe of ideas and perspectives on our lives can be integrated and applied to help people reach new levels of therapeutic progress. The results are often quicker and lead to a special level of personal understanding and growth.
