My Approach

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is a transformative therapy that can help you heal from trauma, whether it’s a single traumatic event or a series of distressing experiences. Together, we’ll embark on a journey to reprocess traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and empower you to regain control over your life. EMDR has proven to be effective in addressing:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Panic Attacks
  • Phobias
  • Disturbing Memories

(IFS) Internal Family Systems

IFS is a compassionate and empowering therapy that helps you explore and heal the different parts of yourself that may be in conflict. By working together, we’ll create a safe space where you can connect with your inner parts, understand their roles, and restore harmony within yourself. IFS has been shown to be effective in addressing:

  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Relationship Issues
  • Self-Esteem and Self-Criticism
  • Emotional Regulation

CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy)

CBT is a practical approach that focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. With my guidance, we’ll work together to identify and challenge negative beliefs, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate a positive mindset. CBT is highly effective in treating:

  • Depression
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Social Anxiety
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Stress Management
