Types of Therapy

Therapy should build on your strengths—not just focus on what's hard. There are many effective approaches therapists use, and I draw from a range of techniques to support your unique abilities, values, and goals. My approach is collaborative and personalized, grounded in the belief that you already have resilience and wisdom within you. The methods I use are chosen to help amplify those strengths and support meaningful growth. Below, you’ll find a brief overview of the approaches I often draw from and why.

I’m committed to continually learning and evolving, so I can offer care that honors your journey and empowers your voice.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of my main specialties, and something I’m really passionate about. I’ve been trained in EMDR since 2023, and it quickly became a go-to approach in my work because of how effective and empowering it is for many people.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that’s been around since the 1990s, and honestly—it’s one of the best-kept secrets in mental health. It uses eye movements or gentle tapping (called bilateral stimulation) to help your brain process difficult memories or experiences. Whether those events are from the past, something happening now, or even something you're anxious about in the future, EMDR can help reduce the emotional weight they carry.
Most people know EMDR for treating PTSD, but it’s also been really helpful for things like anxiety, depression, OCD, and more. What I love most is that EMDR doesn’t just focus on “what’s wrong”—it helps your brain do what it naturally wants to do: heal, grow, and move forward.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) helps people manage intense emotions, build stronger relationships, and navigate life with more balance and self-awareness. It’s especially helpful if you feel overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with conflict, or find it hard to bounce back from stress.
DBT focuses on four key skill areas:
- Mindfulness (staying present)
- Distress Tolerance (surviving tough moments)
- Emotional Regulation (understanding and managing feelings)
- Interpersonal Effectiveness (communicating clearly and kindly)
While DBT was originally developed for Borderline Personality Disorder, it’s now used to support people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.
I offer adherent DBT, which means I weave these skills into individual sessions—no skills group or phone coaching—so you can build emotional resilience in a way that works for you.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is one of the most widely used and well-researched approaches in mental health, and for good reason. It’s based on a simple but powerful idea: the way we think affects how we feel and act. When we can learn to recognize unhelpful thought patterns and shift them, we can start to feel more in control, more hopeful, and more grounded.
