Our approach
Every person’s experience is different. I draw from evidence-based approaches and choose them collaboratively based on your needs, preferences, and readiness.
Therapeutic methods
CBT helps you recognize and restructure negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.
ACT teaches psychological flexibility — the ability to be present, accept difficult feelings, and take action aligned with your values.
EMDR is a structured therapy approach intended to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the intensity associated with traumatic memories.
Understanding EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured therapy approach intended to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the intensity associated with traumatic memories.
EMDR may be considered for trauma, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, or phobias depending on individual needs. It does not erase memories, and it is not automatically the right approach for everyone.
We first consider safety, stability, coping resources, and your readiness for the work. Suitability is assessed collaboratively, and you remain informed and involved throughout the process.
When appropriate, EMDR uses a structured sequence that may include bilateral stimulation while attending to parts of a distressing experience. The pace and focus are adjusted to your responses rather than forced toward a predetermined outcome.
Working together
If you need crisis support, medication management, a different level of care, or a service outside this practice’s scope, the consultation can still help clarify an appropriate next step. You will not be judged for needing a different kind of support.
