Trauma-Focused CBT

Our trauma creates belief-systems and maladaptive behaviors which may have brought us to therapy in the first place. I pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to leave clients with a greater understanding of their thoughts and how it relates to their emotions and behavior. I also offering CBT coping skills to provide both short term relief and potential long term solutions to intrusive thoughts and intense, unwanted emotions.

EMDR

I am EMDR trained and pull from EMDR methodologies to desensitize clients to better process trauma. I can engage client in complete EMDR/ EMD desensitization or can take bits and pieces of the modality to fit client needs.

Psychoeducation

It is essential that I equip all my clients with the language and knowledge of self to better understand their experiences. It is my responsibility to provide this education so clients - who are always the experts of themselves - can continue learning and growth on their own.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

It is an honor to be a psychotherapist, and I want every client to guide their own healing journey. While I pull from a host of modalities, not every modality fits every client - and sometimes clients just need space for vent. I strive to create a safe space for clients which will enable them to take ownership over their healing journey, including what our sessions look like.

Family Therapy

I am trained as a practitioner and supervisor in functional family therapy and multi-systemic therapy. I am open to assisting parents or holding sessions with caregivers, or family members or an entire family to build better cohesion, address disruptive behaviors and motivate the family to better function within their natural processes and hierarchies.
