My Approach
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an evidence-based method used to treat symptoms related to trauma, depression, and anxiety. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to process through stressful memories, softening the sharp edges and shifting negative beliefs about them towards a more adaptive and accurate perspective.
Trauma-Informed
A trauma-informed approach allows clients to take therapy at a pace at which they feel most comfortable and safe. Clients learn to understand their behavior after trauma as adaptive within the context of their experiences, and practice new ways to cope that encourage connection, honesty, and acceptance.
Neurodiversity Affirming
Whether you have already been diagnosed with ADHD or autism, or are curious about whether these diagnoses fit your experience, know that there is nothing “broken” about you. Many neurodivergent adults and teens have been given messages about needing to “fix” themselves or their brains. An affirming approach to neurodiversity promotes accommodations over shame, and works with the unique setup of your brain rather than against it.
