" And I said to my body softly, I want to be your friend. It took a long breath and replied, "I have been waiting my whole life for this" - Nayyirah Waheed
Individual Psychological Therapy: I believe that an honest and collaborative approach to therapy works well to create the most effective and efficient environment for change.
In our initial sessions I will complete an intake assessment to understand how your current circumstances may have developed and are maintained within the various contexts of your life.
These learnings will then inform your treatment plan and together we will develop goals for therapy.
I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Eye Movement Desentisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I am training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I will integrate these modalities to provide an evidence-based tailored treatment plan.
