Ideal clients
My clients are diverse in their age, backgrounds and the issues that brought to therapy. Some of them have been struggling with depression, or anxiety for a long time while others come seeking help after they've faced a horrific event, others experienced a sudden loss of a loved one. My years in working in providing therapy gave me the privilege of teaching and supporting individuals move forward in their journey and live the life they wanted to have.
Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is great in instilling coping skills in to client on day one and supporting them in managing and lowering their symptoms right away.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Teach client the mindfulness to manage their symptoms, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Will teach client those skills and review their success and modify as needed.
