Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and changing unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I incorporate CBT in sessions to help with recognition of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. This increases development of healthier patterns of thinking and behaving. CBT is an evidence-based, collaborative approach used to help treat a variety of mental health diagnoses. I have utilized CBT in sessions when individuals are experiencing anxiety, depression, problem gambling behaviors, trauma, and substance use.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that focuses on regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with challenging situations. I often incorporate components of DBT in sessions, such as emotion regulation skills, interpersonal effectiveness skills, distress tolerance skills, and mindfulness practices. DBT was originally developed for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT can be used with a variety of other mental health diagnoses.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a therapeutic technique that fosters change and growth. I incorporate MI in sessions to maintain a compassionate approach and empower individuals to strengthen personal motivations to change. MI is an evidence-based, collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication that recognizes individual efforts and strengths.
EMDR
I am fully trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a great approach for the treatment of trauma and utilizes BLS (bilateral stimulation). BLS (through eye movements, tapping, using tappers) involves alternating stimulation to the left and right sides of the brain to allow processing of disturbing memories. New information then comes to mind to resolve old problems, and levels of distress within the mind and body can lesson. It can be used for treatment of PTSD, cravings, anxiety, and other mental health diagnoses.
