My base approach is psychodynamic therapy and I integrate evidence-based modalities including EMDR and Somatic therapy to help clients heal from trauma, regulate the nervous system, and feel more embodied.
EMDR & Somatic
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A trauma-focused therapy using eye movements or bilateral stimulation to help reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and fostering healing.
Gold standard evidence based treatment for trauma, PTSD. Also, anxiety, phobias, grief, loss, chronic illness and OCD.
Somatic Therapy: A body-centered approach addressing trauma stored in the nervous system. By focusing on physical sensations, it helps restore balance and build resilience.
Gold standard evidence based treatment for trauma, PTSD, deep emotional issues. Also, stress, anxiety, physical pain, body tension, and depression.
Psychodynamic & CBT
Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, I help clients explore how past experiences influence present patterns, facilitating deeper self-understanding, meaning making and emotional freedom.
Gold standard evidence based treatment for complex, chronic or deeply rooted emotional or relational problems, chronic depression, severe anxiety, complex relationship difficulties or trauma.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy):Provides structured tools to manage present-day symptoms while psychodynamic therapy explores underlying causes.
Gold standard evidence based treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, chronic pain, stress management, and ADHD.
