Evidence-Based Therapy Utilized:
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
EMDR therapy is a structured approach that helps individuals process traumatic life events by reprocessing the negative cognitions associated with the event. The practice utilizes bilateral stimulation, which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotional intensity of distressing memories.
Gottman Therapy
Gottman Therapy is a couples therapy designed to improve conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnation, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. Its aim is to help you move forward through difficult emotions so you can direct your energy towards healing instead of dwelling on the negative.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a way to rewire your brain to bring more focus, calm, compassion, and joy into your life. It is a powerful tool for decreasing anxiety and/or depression.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thinking patterns. Ultimately, my intention is to facilitate positive behavioral changes.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy is designed to help you work through the various stages and ranges of emotions you may experience after a loss. How you experience grief can vary from person to person. People commonly refer to the five familiar stages of grief (Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining, Acceptance) initially coined in 1969 by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
