MY SPECIALIZATIONS
Eclectically, as appropriate, I am trained and use: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman’s Couples Therapy, Strengths Based Solution- Focused Therapy, Crises Intervention, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Informed Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga therapy (CYT 200).
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): This focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. Originally, it was designed to treat depression, but its use has been expanded to include treatment of a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR): A major focus of my work is with adults who have survived trauma and who are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and self-esteem issues. Often people are unaware that they are living with the impact of trauma. They are instead struggling with depression, anxiety, or medical issues that disguise the underlying origins and prevent lasting change.
Trauma may originate in childhood and include emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual abuse. It may also be the result of experiences such as natural disasters, accidents, unexpected death, and other events that are experienced as traumatic to a particular person of any age.
Participating in trauma work can create an amazingly different perspective on the past and on possibilities for the future. Trauma does not have to define us. If you are interested in knowing more about therapy for trauma, please visit EMDR Therapy.
