I have extensive training in CBT modalities as well as trauma-focused CBT. I utilize these evidenced-based approaches to help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, trauma related disorders, among other presenting issues.

I have received training in order to provide basic EMDR for the treatment of trauma. EMDR has been am emerging treatment modality for trauma disorders, and I believe there is great use for it when it comes to traumas that are harder to "talk" our way through. Not everyone is a good fit for EMDR, but I can support in assessing clients for this treatment modality.

I have experience working with folks in time-limited situations. I utilize a solution-focused approach in order to address the problem at hand and work towards a resolution collaboratively. I approach the work from a humanistic perspective, but I also know it can be a struggle to find the time for therapy, so I am mindful about approaching the work with an eye towards relieving the symptoms presented in an efficient and effective way.

I believe the mindfulness components and values-based living concepts within ACT are so widely applicable to supporting folks with various struggles. Whether you are trying to overcome a specific phobia, manage your general anxiety, break free from cycles of depression, or just generally want to improve your overall quality of life, ACT contains valuable principles to support. I incorporate aspects of ACT in my work, and introduce concepts of mindfulness in an approachable way.

I incorporate many aspects of narrative therapy in my work, especially in my work with adolescents/teens. I utilize these approaches most commonly for those struggling with anxiety and depression, and have also utilized these approaches in trauma work.

Regardless of the different theoretical orientations we incorporate into our work, I will always take a person-centered and humanistic approach. Our sessions should feel safe, and you will experience authenticity and empathic understanding from my approach. I believe in your capacity for growth and change, and we will partner together to achieve your goals.
