Healing at Your Own Pace

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Trauma-focused therapy utilizing EMDR to help individuals process distressing experiences, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and develop healthier emotional responses. As an EMDR-trained clinician pursuing certification, I integrate this approach with attention to emotional stabilization, client readiness, and individualized treatment goals.

Induced After-Death Communication

Grief-focused therapy incorporating IADC, an EMDR-derived approach used to explore emotional experiences associated with bereavement, connection, and meaning-making. Treatment respects each individual's grieving process, personal beliefs, and emotional readiness without promising a particular experience or outcome.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy & Family Systems Approaches

Drawing upon seven years of clinical training and experience in substance use disorder treatment, addiction counseling integrates CBT, DBT, motivational strategies, harm reduction, and systemic approaches. Treatment addresses substance use patterns, emotional regulation, relapse prevention, recovery planning, and the effects of addiction on family relationships. Services emphasize individualized recovery goals, personal autonomy, and continuity of care.

Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) may be included in a recovery plan when a partner is willing to participate, bringing the relationship into the work rather than treating substance use in isolation.

Emotionally Focused Therapy & Behavioral Couples Therapy

Couples therapy informed by Level One training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that examines emotional connection and recurring relationship patterns. Treatment focuses on strengthening communication, increasing emotional responsiveness, addressing relational distress, and developing more secure connections.

Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) is also offered for couples when substance use is part of the picture. BCT is an evidence-based approach that invites a partner to take an active, supportive role in recovery, focusing on sobriety-supporting daily routines, clear communication, and rebuilding trust.

Systemic Family Therapy & Trauma-Informed Approaches

Family therapy integrates systemic and trauma-informed approaches to understand how individual experiences, relationships, and environmental influences shape family functioning. Treatment addresses communication patterns, boundaries, trust, relational distress, and the effects of addiction, serious mental illness, trauma, and chronic illness. Services emphasize collaborative safety planning, healthier family interactions, and opportunities for meaningful connection.

Recovery-focused family work draws on the same behavioral and systemic principles used in Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT), engaging the people closest to a client in support, safety planning, and follow-through.

Caregiver-Centered Therapy with a Systemic Family Focus

Specialized therapeutic support for individuals caring for loved ones experiencing addiction, serious mental illness, or chronic illness. Treatment addresses caregiver stress, anticipatory grief, emotional well-being, boundaries, and systemic family safety planning.

Caregivers may receive services independently, regardless of whether their loved one participates in treatment, resides in the home, is hospitalized, incarcerated, or living in another setting. Care focuses on strengthening the caregiver's well-being and capacity to navigate complex family circumstances while maintaining appropriate connections and boundaries.
