What type of treatment modalities are provided?

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences. It involves bilateral stimulation through eye movements, sounds, or taps while focusing on traumatic memories. This process aims to help the brain reprocess these memories in a way that reduces their negative impact and helps the individual develop more adaptive coping mechanisms. EMDR is effective in treating various conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, phobias, and more.

  • Psychodynamic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on the influence of the unconscious mind and past experiences on present behavior and emotions. It explores how unresolved conflicts, childhood experiences, and relationships shape your current thoughts and feelings.

    CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, and that by changing our thoughts, we can change how we feel and behave. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that teaches individuals practical skills to cope with challenging situations. It has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and other disorders.

  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a form of alternative therapy that aims to reduce psychological stress and promote emotional well-being. Also known as tapping, EFT involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a negative emotion or physical sensation. This process is believed to help balance energy and alleviate psychological distress. EFT is often used to address anxiety, trauma, phobias, and other emotional issues. It is a non-invasive technique that can be easily learned and practiced by individuals to manage their emotional state.

  • Exposure therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that involves helping individuals confront their fears in a safe and controlled environment. The goal of exposure therapy is to reduce the fear and anxiety triggered by specific phobias, traumatic memories, or other sources of distress. This is achieved by gradually exposing the individual to the feared object or situation until their anxiety decreases.

  • Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBIs) are a therapeutic approach that focuses on cultivating present moment awareness without judgment. This type of therapy is based on the practice of mindfulness meditation, where individuals learn to pay attention to thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in a non-reactive way. Mindfulness therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. By increasing self-awareness and acceptance, individuals can

Treatment Structure

  • During consultation you will express issues you would like to address in therapy and any preferences for treatment. During consultation there is no pressure to commit to treatment, but rather to decide if you feel comfortable working with your therapist. I may provide referral if you need a specialist for your specific mental health need(s).

  • Treatment typically begins with an initial assessment session to gather information about your presenting concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This includes completing required paperwork, consent forms, and insurance information. These forms will be emailed and sent to your portal to complete.

  • Following the assessment, a treatment plan will be developed to aid with a focus and direction for upcoming sessions. During treatment planning we may collaborate on your goals and I’ll assist by suggesting interventions to meet those goals. Afterwards therapy sessions are scheduled regularly. The frequency of sessions may vary based on your needs and progress throughout treatment.

  • Sessions vary client to client depending on treatment plan. I typically begin where you feel most comfortable and follow your pace. Whenever you feel ready we may process feelings regarding past trauma and family dynamics. Understanding the past creates a strong foundation for treatment.

    I value authenticity and developing connection in the therapeutic relationship. My style is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and strength-based.

  • Therapy treatment concludes with a transition phase where the focus shifts to maintenance of progress and termination of therapy when you feel ready
