My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is an effective therapy method to address depression and anxiety by change the way we think and behave, recognize our distorted thoughts and understand why we do what we do.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is a helpful technique to increase distress tolerance, improve mindfulness, regulate emotions, and develop a new acceptance of the self.

EMDR

EMDR is a great technique to help process traumatic memories, adverse childhood events.

Compassion Focused

Compassion Focused therapy is a helpful modality to create a more loving sense of self, reduce shame and self-criticism

Grief Therapy

Grief Therapy is geared towards processing the loss in our lives, creating acceptance and the ability to remember with more joy than sadness.
