My treatment methods

EMDR

is a powerful therapy designed to help you process and heal from trauma. Whether you’ve experienced a single event or complex, ongoing trauma, EMDR can help reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories and allow you to move forward with greater emotional resilience. Through a structured, evidence-based approach, EMDR helps you reprocess painful memories so they no longer control your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

For those struggling with OCD, I specialize in ERP, a research-backed treatment that helps you gradually confront your obsessions and resist compulsions. This method is highly effective for reducing the intensity and frequency of OCD symptoms and improving overall functioning.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help you recognize negative patterns of thought and behavior and replace them with healthier, more adaptive ways of coping.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate mindfulness practices to help manage anxiety, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation.
