VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I weave this into sessions as an introductory way to support a shift in perspective and increase awareness of cognitive and emotional patterns that work against us.
Brainspotting
This is a favorite as many people struggle with sitting with emotions, memories and experiences. I find brainspotting to be incredibly effective in getting unstuck and opening new neuro pathways that will allow for fuller, balanced, and fulfilling mental and emotional experiences. Clients can learn to listen and hear their bodies and minds as well as build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.
EMDR
This is used to process memories and experiences that are particularly deeply ingrained and painful. There is a shorter version that can be used for more minor issues as well. It is structured and requires consistent sessions.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person centered is really about meeting clients where they are and validating their experiences. It allows for flexibility and flow during the therapeutic process and centers them as the expert of their lives.
Psychodynamic
I guide clients in examining how early caregiving experiences and relational templates continue to shape their current relationships, self-concept, and emotional responses. This often includes linking present interpersonal conflicts or internal distress to earlier developmental wounds. It is especially effective for clients with persistent relational wounds or those seeking depth-oriented work beyond symptom management.
