Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a confidential and supportive space to explore the challenges, emotions, and experiences that may be impacting your well-being. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers an opportunity to gain insight, develop new coping strategies, and create meaningful change. The goal of individual therapy is not only to reduce distress but also to support personal growth, resilience, and lasting emotional well-being.
Relational Therapy
Couples therapy provides a supportive environment where partners can work together to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and navigate challenges with greater understanding and connection. Couples therapy can help identify patterns that may be creating disconnection and foster new ways of relating to one another. Through a collaborative process, couples learn to communicate more effectively, understand each other's needs and emotions, and build a stronger foundation for their relationship. The goal of couples therapy is to create greater emotional connection, trust, and satisfaction within the partnership.
EMDR
EMDR is a structured therapy approach that helps people process distressing memories, experiences, and beliefs that may continue to affect them in the present. During EMDR, clients are guided to briefly focus on difficult memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. This process helps the brain reprocess experiences in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and allows new, more adaptive perspectives to emerge. The goal of EMDR is to help clients feel less overwhelmed by the past and more able to respond to life from a place of resilience and choice.
Therapy Modalities
I take an integrative approach incorporating process-oriented, experiential, and collaborative therapies to best support my clients. Here are the modalities that inform my practice!
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
Collaborative Language Systems (CLS)
Symbolic Experiential Therapy (SET)
EFIT is an evidence-based approach that helps people better understand, experience, and transform their emotional world. Therapy focuses on exploring emotions as important sources of information and identifying patterns that may contribute to feelings of distress, disconnection, or insecurity. Through a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients learn to access deeper emotions, develop greater self-compassion, strengthen their sense of emotional security, and develop a more confident relationship with self and others.
CLS is a postmodern approach to therapy that views change as emerging through dialogue, reflection, and shared exploration. Rather than positioning the therapist as the expert on a client's life, this approach emphasizes collaboration and curiosity, recognizing that clients are the experts on their own experiences. Together, therapist and client explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life circumstances in ways that can lead to new understandings and possibilities.
SET is an experiential approach that focuses on helping people access deeper emotional experiences and patterns that may be difficult to express directly. Through conversation, metaphor, creativity, and present-moment interactions, clients are encouraged to explore the emotional meanings behind their experiences and relationships. This process can bring greater awareness to long-standing patterns and create opportunities for new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps people develop a relationship with difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences rather than struggling against them. Clients learn skills for increasing psychological flexibility, including mindfulness, self-awareness, and values-based decision-making. ACT helps individuals make room for challenging emotions while taking meaningful actions aligned with what matters most to them.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps clients gain insight into how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present. Through a process of exploration and reflection, clients develop a deeper understanding of recurring challenges, emotional reactions, and relationship dynamics. This increased self-awareness can help uncover the underlying causes of distress and create opportunities for lasting change.
