My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems informed, many years of training and experience; also utilize Brainspotting, CBT, EMDR and other types of therapies.

Brainspotting

certified, many trainings, I use a pointer or clients may prefer gaze spotting to find an eye position that the client focuses on to process unprocessed traumatic memories. It involves subcortical processing via the optic nerve.

EMDR

certified, I use the evidenced based flash technique and EMDR to processed unprocessed traumatic memories in order to reduce trigered responses and reactivity based on earlier traumatic memories.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

certified, many trainings and consultation, coaching on current issues and future goal planning for careers and other goals.
