Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: New clients often ask me what therapy will look like if they work with me and my answer is "it depends" - both on what my client is bringing to therapy and how they hope to change and grow through the therapeutic work. I draw on a wide variety of modalities and, in collaboration with my client, will use a combination of whichever therapeutic approaches seem most suited to what my client is hoping to achieve when working with me. My approach is guided by my firm belief that, with some guidance, everyone can access the healing spirit that they have within themselves. - - - "Anything that's human is mentionable and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less unsettling, and less scary." - Fred Rogers

My practice is guided by the firm belief that therapy can help you make sense of your experiences, heal from trauma, and lead to more meaningful relationships. If you feel discouraged about the way things are now or hopeless that nothing will get better, please know that your life doesn't have to be this way forever. I can help! A more satisfying life is possible!
Together, we will explore distressing patterns that have developed and have repeated in your relationships and your life in general. Then, we'll work to set achievable goals for your treatment. Using elements of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing, Flash Technique, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Mindfulness and other evidence - based treatment modalities, I will guide and support you at each step. By tapping into the mind-body connection, we can lessen the impact of any traumas you might have experienced and reshape upsetting thoughts and the emotions and behaviors that follow, leading to positive life changes.
