Attachment-based

Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships and life experiences influence the way we connect with others, manage emotions, and see ourselves. When experiences such as trauma, loss, or inconsistent support occur, they can impact our sense of safety and trust in relationships. In therapy, we work together to understand these patterns and how they may be affecting your current relationships and emotional well-being. Through a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship, clients can develop greater self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and build healthier, more secure connections with themselves and others.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sometimes unhelpful thinking patterns can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT helps clients identify these patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges. In therapy, we work together to build practical skills that support emotional regulation, problem-solving, and more balanced thinking. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that can be helpful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. Over time, clients often develop tools that help them manage difficult situations with greater confidence and resilience. I have specific training in CBT for Insomnia, Trauma-Focused CBT and CBT for Chronic Pain.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps individuals learn practical skills to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships. DBT focuses on building four key skill areas: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In therapy, we work together to better understand emotional patterns and develop tools for coping with overwhelming feelings in healthier ways. DBT can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Over time, clients learn skills that help them feel more balanced, resilient, and in control of their lives. I have special training in DBT for Substance Use Disorders and Radically Open DBT to treat disorders of over-control.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. Sometimes difficult memories can become “stuck” in the brain, continuing to affect how we think, feel, and respond to situations long after the event has passed. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they become less overwhelming and no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Through guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), clients can safely process past experiences while building healthier beliefs about themselves. EMDR can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other distressing life experiences, allowing them to move forward with greater emotional relief and resilience. I have gone through additional supervision and training in order to be an EMDR Certified™ Therapist.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy

Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy helps individuals safely process and reduce the impact of traumatic experiences. Trauma can make memories and situations feel overwhelming, leading to anxiety, avoidance, or distress. In PE, we work together to gradually face these memories and triggers in a structured way, helping you process trauma, reduce fear, and regain confidence. PE is especially effective for PTSD, trauma-related anxiety, and distress from past events, allowing clients to feel safer, more in control, and better able to move forward in their lives.
