VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
I have extensive experience utilizing Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) to help patients heal from a wide range of complex traumas, including combat trauma, sexual trauma, and attachment trauma. AF-EMDR allows me to address not only the traumatic memories but also the underlying relational wounds that contribute to long-term emotional and psychological distress. I integrate attachment theory and specialized resourcing techniques to establish emotional safety and stabilization before targeting trauma. This method has been especially effective in supporting patients whose early experiences of abandonment, neglect, or inconsistent caregiving have shaped maladaptive patterns of behavior or self-perception. AF-EMDR enables my patients to process their trauma while also repairing internalized relational models, fostering greater emotional resilience and self-compassion.
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method in both individual and couples therapy to improve communication, reduce conflict, and build emotional connection. With couples, I apply evidence-based tools such as the Sound Relationship House and the Four Horsemen framework to strengthen trust, intimacy, and conflict management. In individual work, I help patients explore their relational patterns, attachment styles, and emotional responses to improve how they engage in current or future relationships. This method offers a structured, research-backed approach to creating healthier, more resilient relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help patients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, trauma symptoms, and performance difficulties. When working with trauma, I focus on challenging negative core beliefs, reducing avoidance, and increasing emotional regulation to support recovery. I also use CBT to target behavioral concerns such as procrastination, compulsive behaviors, or patterns of reactivity. In performance-based work, CBT helps patients improve focus, manage anxiety, and enhance confidence through structured cognitive and behavioral strategies. This approach is goal-oriented, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based techniques to promote lasting change.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use CPT to help patients recover from trauma by identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs related to their traumatic experiences. This approach is especially effective for individuals struggling with guilt, shame, self-blame, and distorted thoughts about safety, trust, power, control, esteem, and intimacy. Through structured cognitive interventions and trauma narratives, patients learn to process stuck points and develop more balanced, adaptive beliefs. I’ve used CPT successfully with patients who have experienced combat trauma, sexual trauma, and complex interpersonal trauma. CPT provides a clear, evidence-based framework that empowers patients to reduce PTSD symptoms and reclaim a sense of agency in their lives.
Mind-body approach
I use the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to help patients reconnect with their bodies and regulate their nervous systems in the aftermath of trauma. This somatic approach focuses on tracking body sensations, recognizing survival responses, and building capacity to stay present in the moment. TRM offers concrete tools to help patients shift from states of hyperarousal or shutdown into greater balance and resilience. It is particularly effective for patients who have experienced developmental, sexual, or medical trauma and struggle with overwhelm or emotional numbing. I often integrate TRM with talk therapy and cognitive approaches to support both insight and nervous system regulation. By using this mind-body method, patients can develop a deeper sense of safety, empowerment, and self-awareness.
