All of my therapy is relational. You're also the expert of yourself and your experiences. While I'm here to be your helpful guide, no one knows you better than YOU. Client centered therapy means you will be guiding the sessions. I can bring my knowledge and interventions, and ultimately you will be the driving factor of the sessions and your progress. People often experience improved self-awareness, greater trust in themselves, and the ability to express their feelings and opinions.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR follows an 8-phase structure where the main goal is to reduce vividness and emotion associated with a traumatic memory. This can be done through eye movement, sound, or tapping.

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I use ACT to help people practice acceptance towards themselves and their experiences, and increase their psychological flexibility. ACT helps you develop coping skills to handle challenging experiences, and to live out your values instead of your emotions. Emotions are valuable, and we need them. ACT provides you with the ability to not be overtaken by them.

CBT stands for cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT focuses on our connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT can teach us valuable ways to restructure our approach to various situations or beliefs to change how we think, feel, and behave.

Narrative therapy can help us shift how we view ourselves, our problems, and the world around us. It's a collaborative, strengths-based approach, allowing you to identify your skills, strengths, values, and giving yourself and your life new meaning. Key factors: story focused, non-pathologizing, deconstructing, and re-authoring.

Depending on your unique needs and interests, you may also find that I incorporate various tools or approaches for attachment styles, career exploration, art techniques, and internal family systems language.
