Modalities

Here are a few of my favorite and most used modalities:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)


EMDR is a psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves a structured protocol that combines cognitive restructuring and bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and integrate traumatic memories, ultimately promoting emotional healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS therapy sees your mind as a community of different inner “parts,” each with unique feelings and roles. In therapy, we explore and understand these parts. By getting to know and understand these internal aspects, IFS helps increase feelings of well-being by empowering you to meet your own needs. It also helps us interact with others from this more centered place.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a therapeutic approach focusing on providing you with skills to manage intense emotions, enhance interpersonal relationships, and cope with distress. It teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and acceptance. It combines beautifully with many other modalities.

Mindfullness Based Interventions

Mindfulness based therapy involves learning to observe thoughts and emotions non-judgmentally, fostering a compassionate relationship with your inner experiences. These techniques provide practical skills to anchor yourself in the current moment, fostering a calmer and more centered approach to life’s challenges. These interventions can have immediate benefits for our physiology and mind.

Humanistic / Existential Therapy

Humanistic Therapy is about exploring your unique human experience and finding meaning in life. It focuses on personal growth, self-awareness, and the freedom to make choices. In therapy, we delve into your values, beliefs, and the challenges that shape your existence. In existential therapy you are encouraged to take responsibility for the choices you have and to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Attachment Theory

Attachment theory helps us understand how our early relationships shape our emotions and connections today. This process helps you feel more secure and confident in relationships, providing insights into why you react the way you do. It’s a journey to improve how you connect, heal past wounds, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships that support your emotional well-being.
