My approach to therapy is holistic in nature and does not follow a sole theoretical perspective. Instead, I utilize a combination of these treatment modalities that best suit your needs and desire for change.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)- this is an evidence based, trauma-informed approach that enables individuals to process past memories that are distressing and interfering with current functioning. EMDR is a comprehensive therapy approach that integrates one’s cognitive, emotional and somatic awareness in their body. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-. CBT is a great way to explore and understand how our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interconnected. I support individuals learning how to identify problematic patterns and further how to shift them in a more adaptive and healthy manner. We do this through thought restructuring, emotional regulation techniques and behavioral activation to name a few.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)- often useful in substance abuse treatment, MI offers a client centered approach that explores readiness and willingness to change. MI supports exploration of one’s own adaptable resiliencies, strengths and overall ability to make change in their own life. 

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) - By understanding how we function within relationships and learning ways to improve communication, IPT can lead to improved, long-lasting connections in the future. IPT is useful in exploring our attachment style to others and recognizing the importance of healthy social support in our lives.
