Therapy
EMDR
EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms & emotional distress associated with unhealed trauma using alternating bilateral stimulation which helps the brain to reprocess memories that were “faultily stored”.
Military & First Responders
The culture of the military & first responder population is unique & often misunderstood by others, including therapists. I have first hand experience as an active duty military partner & specialized training & experience to work with service members & first responders in a culturally competent way.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is an evidence-based and non-pathologizing therapy approach that helps us to understand that the parts that typically show up in our day-to-day & helps us to develop a non-judgemental and self-compassionate relationship with these parts to help them heal and take on new, less extreme roles.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP therapy is a behavior based therapy that uses gradual exposure to the fear or anxiety while refraining from engaging in the compulsive behavior. It is the gold standard treatment for OCD. The ultimate goal of ERP is to free people from the OCD loop that causes distress in an individual's daily life.
Substance Abuse
Recovering from drug and/or alcohol abuse can be overwhelming and complicated. Therapy sessions are a way for you to get additional support and accountability in your journey to long-term sobriety. With substance abuse specific experience, I am able to offer various resources and support to help you to be successful in recovery.
