approaches
I may be trained in a variety of evidence-based practices, but that's not the foundation of what makes therapy effective. The core of my therapeutic approach is building trusting relationships and meaningful connections around life experiences. Meeting people where they're at, without judgement or agenda and often with a lot of humor, is absolutely essential. My professional practice is all about keeping this process safe. It's my job to keep things simple and straight-forward. If you're curious, the following are a few of the evidence-based techniques I have been trained in and often use. Questions?

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT)
DBT is an evidence-based therapy for adults and adolescents that targets and helps improve the management of emotions, increase coping skills and strengthen relationships. DBT is effective for self-harming, suicidal thinking, depression, anxiety, and imbalance.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (Emdr)
EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma/PTSD. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. EMDR uses the brain and body's natural healing process to change the way a memory is stored and remembered, reducing the disturbance and lessening trauma responses.
trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT)
Evidence-based therapy for adolescents and families impacted by trauma. Research shows that TF-CBT addresses a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues connected with single, multiple and complex trauma.
Addiction Counseling
Combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, attachment work, DBT, and family counseling to help adolescents, adults and families overcome addiction and effectively engage in the recovery process.
Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT)
RRT reduces or eliminates the painful emotional or behavioral impact of traumatic events, whether remembered or forgotten. Unlike other forms of trauma therapies, RRT does not require re-living past events or re-experiencing the trauma.
COgnitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy that takes an active approach to problem-solving and change. Its goals is to change thinking patterns which can ultimately impact emotions and behaviors.
Mindfulness
Used as a therapeutic technique, mindfulness is a state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
