  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
    The main objective in psychodynamic psychotherapy is to raise awareness of the unconscious process in order to alleviate symptoms. It focuses on exploring relationships and early life events such as family of origin dynamics, leads to a deeper self-understanding, creates an opportunity to change thoughts, feelings and behaviors and therefore, one's experience of the world.

    Interpersonal Psychotherapy
    Interpersonal psychotherapy focuses on improving how one communicates and relates to others. This is accomplished by recognizing how current relationships are effected by unresolved problems in past relationships. By learning to identify and express related emotions and thoughts one can then develop new and healthy ways of perceiving and interacting with others.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety, but can work for anyone who's interested in shifting toward a positive perspective and creating new and healthy behaviors and habits.

    Tapping/EFT
    Tapping is a deceptively simple, yet powerful tool that helps to manage stress and significantly reduce anxiety. Known as "acupuncture for the emotions" (no needles!), tapping is effective when used with talk therapy and can aid in the release of limiting beliefs that create barriers to optimal emotional and psychological health.

  • Life is complicated and ever-changing. The good news is that there are endless possibilities in overcoming the obstacles that are thrown our way. Keeping a growth mindset and an unshakeable sense of hope can be difficult in tough times, but entirely possible. Working collaboratively in a safe and nurturing environment, we can identify the root cause of your suffering and the most effective solutions. It’s time to fully embrace your fulfilling and purposeful life!

    I use an eclectic approach of evidence-based treatments including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction and energy psychology methods including chakra balancing and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping).

    I am a certified EFT/Tapping practitioner and have additional training in Internal Family Systems, Somatic Embodiment, Polyvagal Theory and Compassionate Inquiry. Let me know how I can best support you in building and strengthening your coping toolbox so you can overcome the challenges you face!
