First session
In our first session together, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and explore what approaches we can use together. I'll answer your initial questions, and we'll start planning your healing journey.
Strengths
Using a comprehensive, individualized approach, I will tailor my therapeutic methods to meet your needs and utilize and adapt techniques (EMDR, CBT, DBT) based on what will be most effective for you.
Ideal clients
I have experience in helping individuals with stress & anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, addictions, relationship issues, and trauma. I am also an Autism Specialist with over 18 years of experience working with neuordivergent individuals.
Treatment methods
EMDR
As a trained EMDR clinician, I will guide and support you in identifying the root cause of your distress (i.e., anxiety, depression, unsuccessful relationships, etc.) to reprocess traumatic or distressing memories and/ or events so that your emotional response diminishes and you feel significant relief, gaining healthy coping skills and improving the overall quality of your mental and physical health.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a trained DBT clinician, I will guide you in developing essential skills in four domains (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness) to help you manage your emotions and stress in healthy ways.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a trained clinician, I will utilize a variety of CBT methods and skills to help you understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so we can identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to improve your overall emotional well-being.
Gottman method
One of the practices I utilize for couples counseling is the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to couples therapy, which focuses on strengthening the relationship’s connection and friendship, improving conflict management, and building shared meaning. Counseling often begins with assessments (interviews, questionnaires like the Gottman Relationship Checkup), then uses structured interventions and homework exercises. The method emphasizes reducing the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling) and replacing them with healthier communication strategies.
