No single approach fits every person. I draw from several evidence-based and experiential methods, selecting what best supports your needs, goals, and pace.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a structured approach that can help the brain and body process distressing experiences and memories that continue to feel present. I am EMDR trained and integrate this work when it is appropriate for the client and treatment plan.
Have you ever felt - one part of me feels one way and the other part feel the opposite? That is because people are made up of different parts, each attempting in some way to meet our needs. Rather than fighting or "hating" parts of yourself, using IFS we will approach with curiosity and compassion so that you begin to understand yourself at a deeper level.
CBT helps you notice connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns. It can offer practical tools and coping strategies for responding in a healthier way to anxiety, depression, and difficult situations.
Mindfulness practices can help you develop a steadier relationship with thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. When useful, sessions may include meditation, grounding, breathing practices, or guided imagery.
I believe that while the method matters, the relationship we build in therapy is also very important. Our work will remain collaborative, transparent, and responsive to what helps you feel both supported and capable.
