What to expect

Therapy

Meeting with a therapist allows you a safe and nonjudgemental space to openly explore life’s challenges, concerns, or anything that’s been taking up space in your mind. If your ability to do what you want and need is hindered by something, let’s chat about it.

Treatment Modalities

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps us see the link between our core beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through this therapy, we collaborate to notice and adjust the difficult and challenging cognitive distortions (i.e. false thoughts, beliefs, attitudes) and behaviors we have, to ones that are more healthful. In then developing our emotional regulation and personal coping skills, we’re better able to navigate life’s challenges.

Parts Work

Parts work embraces the idea that all of us have younger versions of ourselves or even parts of us / inner voices that we’ve adopted from others. Each part has unique needs, wants, and beliefs and may be consciously or unconsciously helping or harming us as we move through our life navigating different situations, triggers, and scenarios. Through this therapy, we learn about each part, develop a sense of understanding and care for them to better allow each move towards healing and compassionate collaboration.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

You know yourself best. To uncover your intrinsic truths and motivations, I use MI as a therapeutic tool to dive deeper and guide you to discover the answers that are already within you. Through my own therapeutic stance—asking thoughtful questions, offering helpful reflections, and highlighting your natural strengths along the way—we discover answers and a new path to create positive shifts of change, together.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

EFCT is a humanistic, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, drawing most from attachment theory to move clients towards a more secure, revitalized connection with both themself and others. Rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, EFCT helps folks identify and transform historical cycles of negative processing and interaction into something much more connective, resulting in a far more soothed nervous system for all parties.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy that can facilitate healing from symptoms caused by traumatic and disturbing life events.

We know that if our system is imbalanced by a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can create intense suffering. Once this blockage is removed, healing can resume. EMDR can help activate our natural healing process.

Eclectic

While drawing from evidence-based techniques, I offer a thoughtful and personalized experience in practicing eclectic therapy. Our sessions will seamlessly weave together a tapestry of therapeutic modalities, attachment-based, and somatic-based therapies to tap into the tools and processes that most resonate with you and your unique needs and goals.

Insurance

Upon request, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company, and you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for services.

Please check your coverage carefully by asking your health insurance provider the following questions:

  • Do I have mental health benefits?

  • How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

  • How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
