Areas of Practice

EMDR is a trauma-processing model that follows a structured approach to help your brain process distressing memories so they no longer feel as intense. During EMDR, I’ll guide you through processing experiences with bilateral stimulation, which are simple eye movements, tapping or sounds that engage both sides of the brain. You don’t need to relive memories in overwhelming detail for EMDR to be eff ective. EMDR is highly evidence-based, and can help you shift unhelpful beliefs, calm body-based stress responses and build resilience.

Ever feel like words just aren’t enough? Brainspotting is an organic, body-focused therapy that uses your natural visual focus to access and process unresolved emotions and trauma and doesn’t require you to talk about your experiences to heal. Together, we’ll identify “brainspots” in your fi eld of vision, which correspond to stored tension in the body and mind. Brainspotting supports emotional regulation and deeper self-awareness. Brainspotting is especially helpful for addressing trauma, anxiety and performance challenges.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you understand your diff erent “parts” inside, which act much like an inner family. Some parts protect us, others are wounded and need care. These parts create inner confl ict such as anxiety, self-sabotage or a sense of being stuck in old patterns.

In therapy, we identify and connect with these parts, noticing their intentions and needs. Together, we help the parts communicate and cooperate more harmoniously. This process can reduce inner confl ict and increase self-awareness, while fostering self-acceptance, compassion and healing.

TIST is a therapy model that focuses on building safety and stability before addressing traumatic memories. Developed by Janina Fisher, PhD, it helps you tune into your body and regulate your nervous system. This eases dissociation, reduces the intensity of triggers and supports you in feeling safer in the moment.

TIST is an integrative, stabilization-focused approach that draws on internal aspects of the self—or “parts”—helping them work cooperatively rather than in confl ict. This process fosters internal understanding, strengthens self-leadership and cultivates self-compassion.

Somatic regulation helps you tune into your body and soothe your nervous system when things feel overwhelming. By noticing and responding to physical sensations in your body—whether it’s tension, racing heartbeat or shallow breathing—you learn to feel more grounded as you move through emotions. Together, we’ll practice simple techniques like slow and deep breathing, mindful movement and body awareness to help you feel more settled, present and connected to yourself

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you explore and understand your emotions in a safe, supportive space. In EFT, we’ll explore your feelings, patterns and emotional responses, so you can make sense of them and repattern how you cope and process difficult experiences in a healthier way.
