Find the Right Therapy Modality
I approach counseling with an open heart and mind, and hope to create a warm and welcoming environment for you. I want to enable you to determine the areas you wish to address, and I will tailor the therapeutic approach on your needs and area of focus. I draw on several treatment modalities to allow you to further develop your strengths and to help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. My goals as a therapist are to make you feel safe, validated, and empowered.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and behaving. It's practical and goal-oriented, making it ideal for challenges like anxiety, depression, or stress management.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is highly effective for processing traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, it helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences so they lose their emotional charge and allow healing to occur.
Clinical Hypnosis (Level 1)
Clinical Hypnosis Level 1 introduces gentle, guided relaxation and focused imagery to help you tap into your subconscious mind and encourage positive change. It can reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep, support habit change, and build confidence. Making it a versatile first step toward emotional healing and personal growth.
Solution Focus Therapy (SFT)
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes your strengths and future goals rather than revisiting the past. It's a brief, empowering approach designed to help you identify practical solutions and take meaningful steps forward.
Trauma Informed Care (TIC)
Trauma informed therapy places safety, trust, and empowerment at the center of your healing. Recognizing the widespread impact of trauma, this approach tailors every session to respect your experiences, readiness, and personal boundaries, making it essential for those seeking compassionate, supportive care.
Person Centered Therapy (PCT)
Person centered therapy, provides a non-directive, empathetic environment where you are fully accepted. This method allows you to explore feelings, increase self-awareness, and grow at your own pace. It is perfect for building confidence and emotional resilience.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness therapy trains your attention on the present moment with curiosity and compassion. Through techniques like breathwork, body scans, and mindful awareness, it reduces stress, improves emotional regulation, and enhances overall well-being.
Motivational Interview (MI)
Motivational interviewing uses collaborative conversation and active listening to strengthen your motivation for change. It's especially helpful for lifestyle changes, addiction recovery, or goal setting, empowering you to move forward with confidence.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT combines mindfulness and values based action to help you accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to choices that align with your values. It's effective for anxiety, depression, and life transitions, fostering psychological flexibility and purposeful living.
