EMDR therapy encourages the client to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

IFS is a evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal by accessing and loving their protective and wounded inner parts. By helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts, IFS creates inner and outer connectedness.

I work with my clients one on one to create individualized treatment goals and utilize the following modalities in therapy of CBT, EMDR, IFS, and Somatic experiencing.

I work with Teens and their families to help achieve the goals determined by the client and caregivers. The goal of this is to help my Teen clients learn emotional regulation skills, and learn new ways to cope with anxiety, and or depression. I focus a lot on building a good therapeutic relationship with the teen so that they have a safe, non judgemental enviornment to open up and began to do the work. I encourage the parents to be just as involved and will often provide homework for the parents to do with the teens outside of therapy.

I work with Newly couples struggling with communication, boundaries, parenting, and getting on the same page with their values for their relationship. For this type of therapy I utilize some CBT and The Gottman Method for couples.
