I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma related to chronic pain/illness, I will help you recognize underlying problems, fully realize your strengths and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things a different, healthier way.
My practice specializes in treating adult (18+) individuals and I offer comprehensive services dealing with:
I offer traditional "talk therapy", using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as my two most prominent modalities. If you have not heard of these theories, what they generally help with are helping you to change your thoughts and your behaviors to help achieve your goals. There are specific skills I teach that help with feelings of depression and anxiety, as well as with symptoms of trauma and PTSD. We work together to get you feeling better, sooner.
EMDR therapy is helpful for clients with a history of trauma and PTSD. From single incidents of trauma (think: car accidents) to more complex trauma (think: multiple memories of abuse or emotional pain), EMDR helps you "reprocess" how the emotions and thoughts feel for you. EMDR is great at getting those thoughts and feelings "unstuck" in your brain and placed back into your long term memory where they belong- with the memory itself. Together we work to help reduce your feelings of depression, anxiety and other emotions attached to past memories.
As an Approved Consultant with EMDRIA, I offer both group and individual consultation towards EMDR Certification for therapists. For therapists who are currently training with EMDR TRN HAP, I offer a monthly group consultation where you can ask questions, present cases and learn from colleagues who practice EMDR. I enjoy working with EMDR therapists and am happy to share my years of expertise to help you process through some of your tough client cases.
