THERAPY MODALITIES
Gentle, Intentional Care
This page offers more detail about how I work, focus on helping you calm your nervous system and building effective tools for lasting resilience. My approach is rooted in safety, empathy, and evidence-based techniques designed for your unique recovery journey.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Rapid Relief for Traumatic Memories
Accelerated Resolution Therapy works by using eye movements to help your brain process and reprogram how traumatic images and sensations are stored. It allows you to keep the knowledge of what happened while letting go of the painful physical and emotional charge associated with the memory.
This modality is often helpful because it doesn't require you to talk in detail about the trauma, focusing instead on calming the nervous system and providing relief in a shorter timeframe.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Understanding the Connection of Thought and Healing
This approach helps you identify and shift the distressing thoughts and beliefs that often follow a traumatic event. By understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors, we can work together to build healthy coping mechanisms.
It provides a structured yet gentle path to regaining a sense of safety and mastery over your life, helping you navigate the world with more confidence and less fear.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Embracing the Present While Moving Toward Values
ACT encourages you to accept your inner experiences rather than fighting them, while simultaneously committing to actions that align with your deepest values. It uses mindfulness and psychological flexibility to help you lead a rich and meaningful life even in the presence of difficult memories.
By focusing on what truly matters to you, we can create tools that help you disengage from the struggle with painful thoughts, creating room for growth and peace.
Narrative Therapy
Reclaiming Your Story from Trauma
In Narrative Therapy, we honor you as the expert of your life, viewing challenges as external rather than as part of your identity. We work to uncover hidden threads of courage and self-compassion, allowing you to craft a new chapter where your spirit, not your past wounds, takes center stage. By integrating Accelerated Resolution Therapy, we can more effectively rewrite your personal narrative while anchoring every part of this journey in the ultimate truth of your inherent worth. This collaborative shift empowers you to reclaim your future with a renewed sense of wholeness and strength.
This empowering approach helps you rediscover your agency and expertise in your own life, fostering a sense of hope and a clearer path toward the future you want to build.
