Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is incorporated when clients have a negative outlook in almost all situations, part of this is due to depression, low self-esteem, self-doubt. Focus is to replace negative self-talk with positive empowering statements.
EMDR
EMDR is used to assist clients in overcoming traumatic events, anxiety, grief. This modality has been very beneficial for many of my clients that feel stuck in the past and cannot move forward with their life due to flashbacks, nightmares.

Solution focused therapy is used to assist client with short term goals by exploring positive options and solutions to their challenge rather than focusing on the problem.
