Areas of Expertise
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Often we develop patterns of thinking that can increase stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or depression. Together, we will identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized approach used to help individuals process traumatic experiences and distressing memories. Rather than reliving painful events repeatedly, EMDR helps the brain process those experiences so they have less emotional impact and no longer feel like they are controlling your life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps you understand the different "parts" of yourself that influence how you think, feel, and behave. For example, one part may be highly critical while another part feels hurt or fearful. Through this process, you can develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional healing.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches practical skills to help you manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, improve relationships, and cope with life's challenges more effectively. It focuses on finding balance between accepting where you are today while working toward positive change.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy helps you explore the stories and beliefs that shape how you view yourself and your experiences. Together, we will identify unhelpful narratives, recognize your strengths and resilience, and develop a more empowering perspective that supports growth, healing, and positive change.
Therapeutic Approach
Every person who walks through my door brings a unique story, set of experiences, and challenges. Because no two people are the same, I believe therapy should never be a one-size-fits-all process. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping you create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we will explore what is contributing to your current struggles, identify your strengths, and develop practical strategies that support your goals.
Over the past 20 years, I have worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, workplace stress, grief, and personal growth concerns. This experience has allowed me to draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to create a therapy experience that meets your specific needs.
