EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a highly effective approach designed to help individuals overcome the lasting effects of traumatic experiences and distressing memories. During EMDR sessions, I will guide you through a structured process that involves focusing on specific memories while engaging in alternating forms of sensory stimulation such as alternating sounds, tapping, or following a visual stimulus side to side. This process aids in reprocessing the memories in a healthier way, reducing the emotional intensity and negative beliefs associated with them. Through targeted phases, EMDR aims to empower you to gradually release the grip of past traumas, fostering emotional healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being. If you're seeking a proven method to address and overcome the impact of trauma, EMDR offers a supportive path toward healing and recovery.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a transformative therapeutic approach that recognizes the complexity of the human psyche by viewing it as a collection of distinct yet interconnected "parts."

IFS posits that within each individual, there exist various internal parts, each with its own unique thoughts, emotions, and roles. These parts often develop as responses to life experiences, including traumas and challenges. IFS therapy involves cultivating a compassionate and curious relationship with these parts, allowing individuals to understand their origins, motivations, and interactions.

By fostering self-awareness and promoting a harmonious relationship among these parts, IFS aims to facilitate healing, reduce internal conflicts, and enable individuals to access their core, authentic self – the "Self" – characterized by qualities like wisdom, compassion, and resilience. This approach empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges from a place of internal unity and balance, leading to profound personal growth and emotional well-being.

Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion (MSC) therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines mindfulness practices with the cultivation of self-compassion.

At its core, MSC aims to help individuals develop a kind and supportive relationship with themselves, particularly during times of difficulty, suffering, or self-criticism. It involves learning to treat oneself with the same warmth, understanding, and care that one might offer to a close friend. The practice of mindfulness in MSC involves being present in the moment, observing thoughts and feelings without judgment, and cultivating a gentle awareness of one's experiences.

The combination of mindfulness and self-compassion in MSC helps individuals become more attuned to their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. By offering themselves kindness and understanding, individuals can shift away from self-judgment and self-criticism, fostering a healthier relationship with themselves and others.

I will be providing supervision and consultation services beginning January 2024.
