I have implemented CBT throughtout my career. CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. The objective is to identify negative or irrational beliefs by challenging them and focusing on practical strategies to address the distress. Conditions Treated with CBT include: Major Depressive Disorder Anxiety Disorders Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Eating Disorders Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD) as well as many others.

I became certified to implement EMDR initially in my work with the native american population, addressing the intergenerational trauma that this population suffers from. I found this form of therapy to be so quick and effective that I have started implementing it into other presenting issues such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, abuse, neglect and early childhood trauma.
