The Therapeutic Process

If you choose to work with me, my clinical style is very client-focused and personable as if you're chatting with a nonjudgemental friend. This creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. My approach emphasizes deep listening, empathy, and tailoring each session to the your unique needs. By fostering a genuine connection, I seek to help clients feel understood and valued, creating a powerful catalyst for growth and healing.​

​

I use a trauma-informed approach, integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Ego States, allows for a comprehensive and individualized healing process. 

​

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps clients process traumatic memories by reducing their emotional charge, fostering adaptive resolution.

  • DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) equips clients with skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

  • Narrative Therapy empowers clients by helping them reframe their personal stories, shifting from a problem-saturated identity to one that highlights strength and resilience.

  • IFS/Ego States Therapy facilitates deep self-exploration, helping clients connect with and integrate different aspects of their personality to promote healing and self-leadership.
