The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Adult 18+ who are trying to navigate their world while managing emotional challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a talk therapy in which we work together to overcome troubling situations or conditions in your life. Through treatment, you will become aware of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs about these issues. You will be taught to recognize and challenge thinking behavior and patterns that may be causing or complicating issues in your life. You will learn techniques such as relaxation skills, coping strategies, tolerance, resilience, stress management and assertiveness that will lead to improved emotions and mood.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a structured talk therapy that focuses on helping people with intense emotions by changing unhelpful thought patterns. You will be taught skills like mindfulness, acceptance & distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to deal with hard situations in your life. We will practice those skills through a series of lessons and you will apply those lessons and skills learned to your life, therefore, improving your mood and emotions.
Supportive
Supportive psychotherapy is a talk therapy that focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life or psychological challenges. You will have a safe and nonjudgmental environment to talk about your feelings, concerns, and problems. Through this process, we will reduce or eliminate the disruptive conditions in your life.
Brainspotting
https://brainspotting.com/about-brainspotting/what-is-brainspotting/ Brainspotting therapy is a trauma therapy technique developed by Dr. David Grand that uses specific eye positions, called "brainspots," to access and process deep-seated emotional issues and trauma by linking them to their physical sensations and deep-brain origins. I will guide you to hold your gaze on a brainspot, allowing the brain's natural healing processes to resolve difficult emotions and memories by tapping into the midbrain's trauma processing capabilities. Brainspotting can be helpful for dealing with a range of challenges, including: Trauma and PTSD, Anxiety and Depression, Dissociation, performance issues and creative blocks, and other forms of deep-seated emotional distress and trauma.
Somatic
Somatic therapy incorporates practices like body awareness, breathing techniques, and movement to help individuals recognize physical sensations and let go of pent-up emotions. It is commonly applied in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and ongoing pain.
