Strength-Based Approaches
Throughout all of my therapeutic work, I integrate strength-based approaches to help you recognize and build on your existing resources. By focusing on what is already working in your life and the strengths you possess, we can enhance your self-confidence, improve relationships, and create lasting positive change.
Strength-based methods are designed to empower you and remind you of your resilience and capacity for growth.

In person-centered therapy, we work together in a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where you are at the center of the process. I approach this work by being genuinely curious about your experiences, listening closely, and reflecting back what I hear, so you can gain greater insight and understanding.
This approach emphasizes your autonomy, supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings freely. By focusing on your strengths, we work together to enhance self-awareness, build resilience, and create meaningful changes in your life and relationships.

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy for processing trauma, anxiety, phobias, and PTSD. It uses bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and promoting healing.
I approach EMDR with a trauma-informed, collaborative style, checking in frequently to ensure you feel comfortable and empowered throughout the process. My curiosity about your experiences and my gentle yet direct guidance helps you move through challenging material with increased resilience and peace.

CBT is a goal-oriented, practical approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Through collaboration, we will work together to challenge unhelpful thinking and replace it with healthier, more adaptive beliefs and coping strategies.
I bring a direct but compassionate approach to help you reframe negative thought patterns, particularly around anxiety, depression, and stress. The strength-based nature of CBT also helps you recognize your ability to change and grow, empowering you to create the life you desire.

Somatic EMDR integrates body-focused techniques with the principles of EMDR to help release trauma stored in the body. This modality works on a nervous system level, helping you move through trauma physically as well as emotionally.
I take a collaborative approach to Somatic EMDR, staying curious and reflective as we explore how your body holds and processes trauma.
