Therapy Approaches: Tailored Treatment Options

Every client is unique, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs, goals, strengths, and life experiences. Rather than relying on a single approach, I integrate evidence-based therapies and trauma-informed therapy interventions to provide personalized, comprehensive care.

1. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy—EMDRIA Certified Therapist™.is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional distress associated with past experiences. It is widely used in the treatment of PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. 
2. Addiction-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) adapts traditional EMDR principles to address the relationship between trauma and substance use, targeting the traumatic experiences and emotional triggers that often contribute to addictive behaviors.
3. DeTUR (Desensitization of Triggers and Urge Reprocessing) is an EMDR-based intervention developed to reduce cravings, process substance-related triggers, strengthen coping skills, and support long-term recovery from addiction.
4. Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) combines cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions to help individuals process traumatic experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression. 
5. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
6. Dialectical Behavior-Informed Therapy (DBT)   is a mindfulness-based approach that builds skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to improve emotional balance and relationships. 
7. Internal Family Systems (IFS-Informed) explores the different 'parts' of ourselves with curiosity and compassion, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, reduce internal conflict, and promote healing from trauma. 
8. Certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Provider helps in  listening-based intervention designed to support nervous system regulation through the principles of polyvagal theory, improving emotional regulation, reducing stress responses, and enhancing feelings of safety and connection. 
9. Attachment-Based Therapy and Certified Attachment Coaching examine how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and relationships, helping clients build healthier, more secure connections. 
10. Trauma-Informed Therapy recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and emphasizes safety, collaboration, empowerment, and trust throughout the therapeutic process.
11. Mindfulness-Based Interventions help increase present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation and overall well-being. 
12. Somatic and Nervous System Regulation helps clients understand how trauma affects the body and develop practical strategies to regulate the nervous system, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety. As a 
13. Certified HeartMath® Practitioner, I teach practical breathing and biofeedback-informed strategies that can enhance emotional regulation, stress management, resilience, and nervous system balance.
14. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps individuals strengthen their motivation for change by exploring personal values, goals, and ambivalence. The 
15. Post-Master's Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) incorporates behavioral principles, when appropriate, to support behavior change, habit formation, skill development, and goal achievement within an individualized treatment plan. 
16. Strengths-Based Therapy focuses on identifying and building upon your existing abilities, resilience, and personal resources to promote lasting growth and healing.
17. Psychoeducation, understanding the 'why' behind your experiences, is an essential part of healing. I provide education about trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, substance use, emotional regulation, and neuroscience to empower clients with knowledge and practical skills.
18. Structural Therapy explores how deeply rooted emotional structures and coping patterns may develop through childhood experiences, unmet needs, and relational wounds. It helps clients recognize recurring patterns, understand their emotional responses, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
19. Enneagram-Informed Self-Exploration uses the Enneagram's nine personality patterns as a framework for understanding deeply rooted coping strategies that may develop in response to childhood experiences, core fears, emotional wounds, and unmet needs. This approach can help clients recognize recurring patterns, increase self-awareness, improve relationships, and develop healthier ways of responding. The Enneagram serves as a tool for exploration and personal growth—not as a clinical diagnosis.
20. Comprehensive Adult Autism Evaluations help adults explore whether autism may explain lifelong patterns involving communication, relationships, sensory needs, routines, emotional regulation, masking, burnout, and identity. Evaluations may include clinical interviews, developmental history, standardized assessment tools, diagnostic clarification, and individualized recommendations for support. 
21. Neurodiversity-Affirming Care respects neurological differences while helping adults better understand their needs, strengths, sensory experiences, communication patterns, masking, burnout, and identity.
