Sometimes experiences from the past continue showing up in the present, even when we know, logically, that the experience is over. EMDR is a structured psychotherapy approach that uses bilateral stimulation as part of helping people process distressing memories, beliefs, emotions, and body sensations. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I incorporate this approach when appropriate to help clients work through experiences that continue to influence how they feel about themselves and navigate their lives. And no, you don't necessarily have to tell me every detail of what happened for meaningful processing to occur.

Trauma can influence what we come to believe about ourselves, other people, safety, trust, control, and the world around us. CPT is an evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD that helps us examine beliefs shaped by traumatic experiences and consider whether those beliefs still serve us. This isn't about pretending something didn't happen or convincing yourself that everything is wonderful. It's about making room for a more balanced understanding of yourself and what you've experienced.

Ever notice how your body seems to remember things even when finding the words feels impossible? Brainspotting is a brain-body psychotherapy approach that uses eye position and focused attention to support emotional and physiological processing. As a Brainspotting-trained therapist, I use this approach to create space for deeper exploration, especially when experiences are difficult to put into words. Sometimes we discover that there's a whole lot happening beneath the surface.

Your mind and body are connected, whether you like it or not. And sometimes your body has quite a bit to say! I incorporate mindfulness, grounding, body awareness, and nervous-system regulation strategies to help you recognize emotional and physical responses and develop practical ways to support yourself. And we don't leave those strategies sitting in my office. I help you practice approaches you can use at home, at work, in relationships, and during those moments when life decides to test every ounce of your patience. The goal is to help you reconnect with something that may have felt out of reach for far too long.

Emotions can be complicated. Relationships? Sometimes even more complicated! I integrate DBT-informed strategies to help you navigate intense emotions, manage distress, strengthen boundaries, communicate effectively, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. We work on building skills you can actually use outside the therapy room, because life doesn't conveniently wait until your next appointment to throw something your way.

ACT is about learning to make room for uncomfortable thoughts and emotions without allowing them to make every decision for you. We explore what truly matters to you, what you value, and how to move toward the life you want, even when fear, uncertainty, or those pesky uncomfortable feelings decide to tag along. Because sometimes the goal isn't to eliminate every uncomfortable emotion. It's learning that you can experience it and still move forward.
