VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am trained in Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) by the Academy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (https://www.academyofcbt.org). I've been able to utilize this approach to support individuals with healing, growing through challenges, and obtaining a sense of freedom and control over our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Trauma-Focused CBT
With a trauma-focused CBT approach, I've been able to support individuals in developing insight onto how past events shape us as individuals and how we can utilize this insight to to integrate positive changes, heal from past trauma, and write a new narrative for the future.
Attachment-based
Much of my approach is rooted in attachment theory and how early childhood experiences mold and shape the individuals we are. We can utilize this approach to understand your identity, develop acceptance and self-compassion, and navigate ongoing challenges with a growth-based mindset.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I support clients in integrating their cultural identity into the treatment process as it shapes our sense of self and how we perceive the world, our challenges, and ultimately our goals. I provide a gender-affirming approach and support clients in exploring their identity, developing self-advocacy skills, and thriving as a unique individual.
EMDR
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal from the emotional distress caused by disturbing life experiences. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, grief, or difficult memories that feel “stuck,” EMDR allows the brain to reprocess these experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight.
