Individual therapy via telehealth
It can be challenging to find a safe and supportive space to express your feelings and thoughts without shame or judgement. You are your own person with many life events and history and deserve to be heard and validated.
Therapy is offered weekly or bi-weekly (depending on your needs) and sessions last for 53 minutes. I provide therapy for adults 18 and older.
EMDR & Attachment-focused EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals heal from the emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. EMDR focuses on resolving the lingering effects of trauma by targeting how distressing memories are stored in the brain.
How does EMDR work?
Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. This allows clients to develop healthier beliefs and responses to past events without being overwhelmed by pain or fear.
EMDR Intensive sessions
Intensives are offered in 2 hour (one 15 minute break) and 3 hour sessions (two 15 minute breaks).
Intensives are offered twice a month. Intake and evaluation are included in the $450 and $650 intensives package.
-
This session includes an assessment and the creation of a target sequence plan.
The client then engages in the preparation phase to practice resourcing techniques to build emotional resilience.
Before starting an EMDR intensive, clients are encouraged to develop coping skills to manage emotions and side effects in between sessions.
-
This 2-3 hour session includes processing traumatic memories with bilateral stimulation. This technique assists with processing and alleviating symptoms. Bilateral stimulation is also used to strengthen positive memories being activated.
-
In this session, we will debrief insights and check in if further processing is necessary. We will also discuss the potential next steps.
What is Attachment-Focused EMDR?
AF-EMDR is a specialized adaptation of EDMR designed to address relational trauma and attachment wounds. It integrates EMDR’s evidenced-based methods with an emphasis on healing difficulties rooted in early attachment disruptions, such as neglect, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving.
Benefits of EMDR Intensives
Accelerated trauma treatment without weekly sessions: Intensives allow for deeper processing in a shorter time frame. Clients can experience significant progress in weeks rather than months.
Reduced Distress Between Sessions: Intensives provide a more contained experience with faster resolution of distressing memories.
In-Depth Processing: Extended sessions allow for a more immersive experience, helping clients move through multiple memories and themes in one setting rather than spreading it out after time.
Deeper Integration & Lasting Change: The brain has more time to fully process distressing material in a contained setting, leading to deeper emotional shifts and longer-lasting healing.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
DBT is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop effective coping strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is a highly-effective, evidence-based approach to mental health treatment that helps individuals understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. CBT empowers clients to develop healthier coping strategies and create meaningful change in their lives.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy, also known as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, is a goal-oriented, strengths-based approach designed to help individuals find practical solutions to their challenges. Rather than focusing on their problems or past experiences, SFT emphasizes identifying resources and strategies that lead to positive change.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered counseling approach designed to help individuals find their own motivation for change. Rather than pushing for change, MI empowers clients to explore their values, goals, and ambivalence, creating a safe and nonjudgemental space to make decisions about their lives.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, is a groundbreaking framework that explains how our nervous system responds to stress, connection, and safety. This theory focuses on the role of the vagus nerve in regulating our emotional and physiological states, helping us understand why we react the way we do in different situations.
Client-Centered Therapy
Client-centered therapy, also known as person-centered therapy, is a compassionate and non-directive approach that focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. Developed by Carl Rogers, this approach emphasizes the belief that every person has the capacity for self-growth and healing when provided with the right conditions.
