Rewire and Restore Therapy
Psychotherapy, Trauma Recovery, and Nervous System Healing
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence-based form of trauma treatment based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. which is based on research by Francine Shapiro that explains how trauma from adverse life experiences can be linked to our emotions, physiological sensations, thoughts, and core beliefs. I have completed training and consultation in EMDR and use it regularly to support clients who suffer from PTSD and complex trauma. EMDR promotes healing through a protocol based on nervous system regulation via bilateral stimulation combined with therapist-supported accessing and reprocessing of traumatic memories, with the goal of alleviating distress and promoting adaptive insights, emotions, and beliefs.
Flash Technique and Four Blinks Flash
Flash Technique is a minimally invasive therapeutic intervention for treating trauma and reducing the distress involved with disturbing memories. I am trained in Advanced Flash Technique which utilizes bilateral stimulation like EMDR, but does not require clients to disclose or revisit details of traumatic events, which can be upsetting and difficult. I also provide treatment using Four Blinks Flash, which is an alternative approach that engages a client in a calm state throughout the treatment process, to minimize exposure to traumatic memories and disturbing emotions and sensations. Flash and Four Blinks Flash both focus on positive engagement to treat trauma and restore vitality and connection.
Internal Family Systems - Parts Work
Internal Family Systems is an integrative form of psychotherapy, which is rooted in the philosophy that we are complex beings, made up of multiple parts with conflicting needs, goals, and behaviors. This internal system of parts can create challenges with managing our emotions and reactions. As an IFS-informed therapist, I help clients to enhance their self-compassion and recognize that all parts are welcome, and that they can learn to become more responsive and self-led. IFS can promote increased self-acceptance, enhance internal harmony and improve the connection with the self and other people.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on body-mind awareness and helps to enhance connection with the self. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy can help heal trauma that is stored within the nervous system. I use somatic therapy with all of my clients, to help them get back in touch with their bodies, increase emotional understanding, build awareness and develop resilience.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of talk therapy that is structured and goal-oriented, that can help clients become more aware of unhealthy behaviors, thoughts, and how unchecked emotional reactivity may be impacting their ability to function and have healthy relationships. Through mindfulness-based CBT and meditation, clients can develop understanding of how their thoughts affect emotions and actions and reduce self-judgment and reactivity, while adopting more self-acceptance, patience, and healthier thinking patterns and habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidenced-based treatment that teaches individuals how to manage anxiety, moods and impulses, reduce distress, and strengthen relationships. It is a form of CBT that is comprised of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT teaches strategies to help people live their best and most productive life and is effective treatment for depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, addictions, eating disorders, and PTSD
