Therapeutic Approaches

​

I'm fully trained in:

• Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR):

  • This therapy can be particularly useful for trauma, phobias, and anxiety, and focuses on processing stressful events.​

• Internal Family Systems (IFS):​

  • This therapy is considered a "parts" approach and has a wide range of uses, being beneficial to a wide range of clients. I ​utilize this approach with the majority of my clients.

• Impact Therapy, which integrates the following therapies:

  • Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT): similar to​ other modern cognitive-behavioral therapies, such as CBT, REBT focuses on how thoughts impact emotions and behaviors.

  • Adlerian Therapy: an approach that is focused on understanding the unique individual in their social setting to unlock their full potential and meet their goals.

  • Transactional Analysis (TA) : a "parts" approach that focuses on how parts of people interact in their relationships.

  • Gestalt Therapy: another "parts" approach that focuses on present moment awareness to enable change and growth.

​

I also integrate theories and techniques from:

• Attachment Theory

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

• MI (Motivational Interviewing)

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

• Sandtray
