My Methods
My overall therapy style is rooted in a person-centered approach. This means I hold unconditional positive regard for you always, no matter how you show up or what you’re experiencing. I won’t try to change you during our time together. Instead, I’ll accept you as you are and help encourage you to do the same.
I’m trained in a variety of methods that allows me to best align with your needs during any given therapy session. These include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
DBT: Designed for people who experience intense emotions, DBT helps you become more aware of their coping patterns and daily habits. It also teaches you core skills to come back to when you’re struggling. I’ll help guide you through ways to improve mindfulness, let go of judgment, develop distress tolerance, learn about emotions, and better communicate your feelings and needs.
EMDR: EMDR helps you process and heal from traumatic or difficult experiences. Based on the idea that trauma can get stuck when left unprocessed, an EMDR session guides you through imagery, body scans, and directed eye movements that help you safely process old wounds.
Together, we'll navigate the complexities of trauma and create a path of healing that honors who you are and where you want to go.
