There are events that immobilize us to the point of negatively impacting ourselves and our relationships. It could be a traumatic event or negative self-perspective. My role as your therapist is to help you navigate these roadblocks by giving you the tools to find a balance between these events and your emotions, to stay mindful and to understand how your environment impacts us, to understand your past and how it relates to your physical and mental being. I am your guide in a journey which can ultimately lead you to finding peace through understanding and acceptance.

Feedback Informed Treatment

Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) is a way of doing therapy that’s all about making it work better for you.

Here’s why you might want to see a therapist who uses FIT:

1. It’s Like a Team Effort: Think of therapy as a team sport. With FIT, you and your therapist work together closely. Your thoughts and feelings about the therapy are really important, and you get to share them regularly.
2. Tailored Just for You: Imagine therapy as a custom-made suit. FIT helps your therapist adjust the treatment to fit you perfectly. They listen to what you want to achieve and make sure the therapy is just right for your needs.
3. Spotting Hurdles Early: FIT is like having a radar for any issues that might come up during therapy. Your therapist can catch them early and fix things before they become big problems. It’s like having a smoother journey through therapy.
4. Better Results: Studies show that therapists using FIT often get better results. It’s like having a winning strategy that adapts to your needs. So, you’re more likely to see positive changes happening.
5. You’re in Control: FIT gives you a say in how things go. It’s like being in the driver’s seat. You have a voice in the therapy process, making it feel more like your own journey.
6. Clear Communication: With FIT, talking openly is encouraged. It’s like having an honest conversation where you can share what’s on your mind. This helps build trust and makes therapy more real and helpful.

In simple terms, FIT is about making therapy a team effort, tailoring it just for you, catching problems early, getting better results, putting you in control, and encouraging clear communication. It’s like having a therapist who’s really tuned in to what works best for you.
