Psychotherapy

In-clinic sessions

I know that the benefits of in-person therapy are powerful. My office is set up to be a safe and comfortable space to support the impactful work we will do together. 

remote sessions

While most people do prefer the personal connection that comes with in-person appointments, the convenience of telehealth is undeniable. I offer both and recommend that clients utilize telehealth, as needed. 

Professional Psychotherapy Services Provided

Talk Therapy

I utilize different theoretical approaches to help clients move towards healing. This means I incorporate different types of talk therapies into one eclectic style which is influenced by your needs and where you are in your healing journey.  Most of the work I do is trauma therapy for adults who have experienced childhood trauma, negative experiences, and loss.

Trauma Focused Therapy

What is trauma focused therapy? Great question! My unique style of trauma focused therapy allows us to utilize an eclectic blend of different types of talk therapies combined with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to move you closer to reaching your therapeutic goals. EMDR therapy services are not just for trauma. EMDR, like other trauma-informed psychotherapy services, can be used to help heal from depression, phobias, and other effects of childhood trauma.

EMDR Intensive Sessions

People often ask “How is EMDR done?” and “How many EMDR sessions will I need?” The first question varies depending on the therapist. The second question depends on where you are in your healing process and how complex your trauma experience is. Trauma-reprocessing therapy done in longer sessions can move you towards healing sooner and help you start enjoying life again. These intensive therapy sessions are usually only appropriate for those who have been in therapy for a while or who are ready to take their recovery to the next level.

Depression can be painful and debilitating. Getting to the bottom of the situations and events which had contributed to depression can be a helpful part of the recovery process. Difficult experiences can leave a person feeling hopeless, guilty, and worthless and lead to depression. Understanding the symptoms and seeking appropriate therapeutic support can help you manage this disorder and advocate for yourself at work and in your relationships.

Clients tend to get the best results when they attend therapy once per week. More or less frequent sessions can be accomodated. Discuss the benefits of therapy frequency with your therapist.

Goodness of fit is important in a therapeutic relationship. If your therapist is not open to discussing concerns or consistently doesn’t seem to “get” you, bring up your concerns. A good therapist can help you work through these issues or refer you to someone better suited to work with your particular issues. 

How many sessions you will need depends entirely on the nature of your issues and your goals for recovery. Discuss this with your therapist.
