My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps individuals process and reduce the intensity of distressing memories by using guided eye movements to activate the brain's natural healing processes. This therapy is particularly effective in relieving symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and PTSD, leading to improved emotional resilience and well-being

Trauma-Focused CBT

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals, especially children and adolescents, process traumatic experiences by combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive strategies. It reduces symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression, improving emotional regulation and enhancing coping skills for a healthier, more resilient life.

Grief Therapy

Grief Therapy helps individuals process the pain of loss, providing them with tools to navigate the emotional stages of grief in a supportive, structured environment. By fostering acceptance and healthy coping mechanisms, grief therapy aids clients in adapting to life after loss.

Attachment-based

Attachment Therapy focuses on understanding and repairing attachment issues that often stem from early relational trauma, aiming to build secure, trusting relationships. It helps individuals recognize and reshape patterns in their attachments, improving their emotional well-being and interpersonal connections.

Racial trauma treatment

Racial Trauma Treatment addresses the impact of racism and discrimination on mental health, offering a safe space to process experiences of racial injustice and validate clients' feelings. This therapy promotes healing by enhancing resilience, affirming cultural identity, and equipping clients with strategies to cope with race-related stress.
