I use an integrative approach that considers the role of both mind and body, as I believe neither are fully separate and both are equally important to mental health. Talk therapy modalities I may use include CBT, psychoeducation, feminist therapy and holistic coaching depending on your unique needs and preferences. I use a neuroscience-informed approach and aim to help you learn how to change the patterns your brain has been making for years that are keeping you stuck. At the same time, I also recognize the importance of societal and external factors that may be contributing to your mental health and we can explore those together.
I understand not every client will benefit from solely talk therapy. For many, trauma becomes "stuck" in the hippocampus and contributes to PTSD, anxiety, and other concerns. For clients who need to re-process trauma in a way that helps the brain to encode the memory without the intense emotional charge, EMDR may be a better fit.
I know making the choice of who you feel most comfortable sitting down and discussing your goals and vulnerabilities with is an important and sometimes overwhelming decision. My goal in the therapy room is to always help you feel as supported and heard as possible. If you feel I may be a good fit, I would be honored to work with you on your journey.
