Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and a person with the agreed upon goal to inspire change or improve quality of life.
I guide my patients every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. My goal is to help you to feel more empowered and in control of your life!
Trauma-Informed Treatment
Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event that is distressing, often making it difficult for a person to cope. Trying to overcome trauma can be challenging without additional support.
I use researched-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Progressive Counting (PC), to assist my clients in safely addressing and redefining their trauma in order to heal.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of therapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is a core treatment element of EMDR and a process which distinguishes EMDR from any other method.
What is Progressive Counting?
Progressive counting (PC) is a recently developed trauma treatment, based on the counting method. It involves having the client visualize a series of “movies” of the trauma memory while the therapist counts out loud, gradually increasing sequence. By repeatedly imagining the movie of the memory, the memory gets “digested” or healed, and emotionally processed.
