My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on how are thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing negative thought patterns can impact feelings and behavior. I utilize CBT along with DBT and mindfulness strategies in my approach which can be helpful in treating many mental health conditions including anxiety, depression or stress.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach to treating trauma and other related conditions using grounding strategies and bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping). I have been certified in this specifically modality and practicing for a year and a half. I often incorporate grounding and resourcing strategies in all of my practice. And more specifically work with the 8 stages of EMDR with people wanting to specifically work on processing past trauma.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I often incorporate and provide education on different mindfulness-based exercises in my therapeutic approach.
Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the nervous system's role in regulating emotions and behavior. This therapeutic approach involves increasing awareness of nervous system states and ways of regulating to help people to manage stress or trauma symptoms.
