Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can cause significant disruptions in every aspect of a person's life. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a safe and powerful psychotherapeutic approach that offers individuals a pathway to healing from the effects of traumatic events or distressing life experiences. Through EMDR, individuals can find relief from symptoms and emotional distress that may have lingered for years.

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can leave someone feeling isolated and hopeless. Characterized by persistent disruptions in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions, they can have a profound impact on physical, psychological, and social well-being. Individual therapy that focuses on behavioral modification can help change thinking patterns and beliefs around food, while strengthening a client's support system and improving quality of life.

An ADHD evaluation checks for ADHD in people who have frequent, serious problems with attention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsive behavior. Most doctors require a diagnosis to prescribe medication. Once diagnosed, we work together to change behaviors and thinking patterns, while addressing the day to day issues that ADHD can cause.

I completed a 6 day EMDRIA approved certification program for EMDR in 2020. Since then I have work with over 100 clients with PTSD who wanted to see a reduction in their symptoms. EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress. EMDR can be used to treat a number of psychological symptoms and disorders including PTSD, anxiety and depression.

I became certified to provide DBT while in my graduate program and have used DBT with my clients for the last 7 years. DBT is extremely helpful for clients who feel stuck in destructive behavioral patterns and ways of thinking. Clients with eating disorders, ADHD and self harm tendencies can make incredible strides by utilizing DBT. I find that it is also an excellent compliment to trauma informed care.

SFBT is one of the primary modalities utilized in community mental health. I have used SFBT with many of my clients as a way to make the most progress with the lowest amount of resources available. A hallmark of SFBT is its emphasis on clear, concise, realistic goal negotiations. With each of my clients, we create a collaborative treatment plan which provides the backbone of our work together.
