Integrative
I offer a serene and empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe space where clients can flourish and build on their strengths. By blending diverse therapeutic techniques—such as client-centered methods, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems, Parts Work, and Mindfulness—I tailor my approach to meet each individual's unique needs. My goal is to support your personal growth and help you achieve lasting positive change.
EMDR
In my practice, I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and alleviate the distress caused by traumatic or stressful experiences. EMDR is an effective tool for reconnecting the mind and body, facilitating healing and reducing the lasting impacts of trauma. Through this approach, we work together to bring relief and restore balance, enabling you to move forward with greater resilience and peace.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful tool for enhancing your understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected. By exploring and shifting your thought patterns and perspectives, CBT helps to reduce emotional distress and improve overall well-being. Through this approach, we work together to build healthier thinking habits and alleviate suffering, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help find harmony and strength in my client's lives as the approach is designed to help client's manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build a more fulfilling life.
Humanistic
I utilize the Humanistic modality emphasizing its compassionate approach that focuses on your unique journey and inner strengths, empowering you to achieve personal growth and self-actualization.
