TREATMENT SERVICES
The therapeutic relationship being one of the most important driving forces of the success of therapy. I value the connection made in therapy in order to be a positive influence on making changes and being a source of comfort. I consider it an honor to be part of this important dynamic. The joy in being part of positive change is part of being a therapist that is so rewarding.
I am experienced in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing or an eclectic approach based your need.
The modalities that I focus on are CBT, CPT and EMDR. The focus of CBT is looking at the link between how thoughts and feelings influence behavior. Through exploration of this link we can get to the core beliefs that are like the ‘sunglasses that can shade are life experience’ or work to change thought or behavior patterns to influence feelings experienced. CPT is trauma focused CBT with a specific focus on how trauma impacts particular areas in life such as self esteem, trust, safety, intimacy, power and control.
EMDR is highly effective in the use of trauma but has also shown to be effective to treat a wide range of challenges in the areas of anxiety, depression and trauma. Currently trained in EMDR and working towards certification.
