Trauma-informed therapy recognizes how past experiences continue to affect your present life, and I approach this work with sensitivity, safety, and respect for your pace. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based method that helps you process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess difficult experiences in a way that lessens their hold on you. This approach is effective for single-incident trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, and other challenging experiences that continue to cause distress. You remain in control throughout the process, and we work together to help you feel safer, more grounded, and better able to move forward with your life.

DBT is a specialized approach that focuses on building four key skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Originally developed for people with intense emotional experiences, DBT is now widely recognized as effective for anyone who struggles with managing strong feelings, navigating relationships, or coping with stress. I'll teach you practical skills you can use in real-life situations—how to stay present in difficult moments, tolerate distress without making things worse, regulate your emotions more effectively, and communicate your needs clearly. DBT is collaborative and skills-focused, giving you concrete tools to create more balance and stability in your life. These skills become part of your toolkit for handling whatever challenges come your way.
