Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I have completed formal coursework and specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and use ACT consistently in my clinical work with adults. This background allows me to confidently apply ACT principles to help clients change their relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, build psychological flexibility, and make values-based choices. My focus is on practical, real-life application that supports meaningful, sustainable change.

EMDR

I have completed EMDR training and regularly use EMDR-informed therapy to support adults working through trauma, distressing memories, and stuck emotional patterns. My approach emphasizes safety, preparation, and pacing, ensuring therapy feels manageable and supportive. EMDR allows clients to process experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and helps the nervous system settle, supporting greater stability and relief over time.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and integrate an IFS-informed approach in my work with adults. This allows me to help clients understand different emotional patterns and reactions with greater clarity and compassion. I focus on creating safety and balance so clients can relate to themselves in a less critical way, reduce inner conflict, and respond to challenges with more confidence and flexibility.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

I am trained in solution-focused therapy and use this approach to help clients identify strengths, build on what is already working, and move toward clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on practical change rather than revisiting problems in detail. This method supports forward momentum, increases confidence, and helps clients recognize their ability to create meaningful progress, even during challenging or uncertain periods.

PTSD

I help adults who are living with the effects of trauma and PTSD feel safer, more grounded, and more in control of their lives. I use a supportive, collaborative approach and draw from well-researched therapies such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Therapy moves at a manageable pace and focuses on reducing distress, understanding trauma responses, and building a life that feels more stable and meaningful.

Women's Issues

I have spent years working closely with women as they navigate emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, identity shifts, and the lasting impact of past experiences. I value creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative. I draw from evidenced-based and well-researched approaches to help clients feel more grounded, better understand themselves, and make changes that align with what matters most to them.

Aging Concerns

I work with adults who are navigating the emotional and practical challenges that can come with aging, including life transitions, changing roles, health concerns, and shifting identities. I offer a supportive, collaborative space to explore these changes with clarity and self-compassion. Drawing from well-researched and evidence-based interventions, I help clients build resilience, process past experiences, and move forward with greater balance and purpose.

ADHD

I work with adults who have ADHD and are struggling with focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, or feeling stuck in patterns that do not reflect their abilities. I take a practical, collaborative approach that helps clients better understand how their brains work and develop strategies that fit their lives. Therapy focuses on building structure, reducing self-criticism, improving follow-through, and creating systems that support long-term functioning and well-being.
