VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a counselor with extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have successfully utilized this evidence-based treatment method to help clients address a wide range of psychological issues. My approach involves a structured, goal-oriented process that empowers clients to identify and challenge their negative thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately leading to significant improvements in their emotional well-being and overall functioning.
Brainspotting
I am trained in Brainspotting Phase 1 and integrate this powerful, brain-based therapy into my practice to support clients navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and stress-related symptoms. Brainspotting allows us to access deeper layers of the brain and body where trauma and emotional pain are often stored. By helping clients identify “brainspots” tied to distressing experiences, we create space for deep processing, emotional release, and long-term healing. In my practice, I use Brainspotting in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed way, especially when working with high-achieving women, professionals, and those experiencing burnout. It’s a gentle but transformative tool that supports my clients in slowing down, reconnecting with their bodies, and safely processing what traditional talk therapy sometimes can’t reach. Brainspotting has become a key part of my approach to helping clients not only cope—but truly heal.
