  • CBT

    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

  • EMDR

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps individuals process and heal from distressing memories and traumatic experiences.

  • Trauma-Focused

    (Trauma-Informed Care) As a trauma therapist, I am trained to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their past trauma, reduce emotional distress, and work towards recovery.

  • Mindfulness-Based

    Through techniques like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), clients learn to reduce emotional reactivity, improve self-regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
