Services
Dynamic Psychotherapy
This therapeutic approach combines emotional exploration with behavioral intervention. By addressing unconscious patterns and current challenges, it helps clients develop self-awareness and coping strategies. The practice integrates somatic techniques to enhance mind-body connection during treatment sessions.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treats trauma and anxiety disorders through structured protocols. This evidence-based method helps reprocess distressing memories using bilateral stimulation. The therapist guides clients through phases of preparation, memory processing, and integration to reduce emotional distress.
Dance Movement Therapy
Utilizing body movement as primary therapeutic tool, this approach addresses emotional and psychological issues through physical expression. As a Board Certified practitioner, the therapist uses movement analysis and creative expression to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Internal Family Systems
This evidence-based model identifies and works with sub-personalities or 'parts' within an individual. By establishing relationships between these parts, clients learn to resolve internal conflicts and heal from shame-based patterns that affect mental well-being.
Queer Affirming Therapy
Specialized mental health support for LGBTQ+ individuals creates safe space for exploring identity and relationships. The practice addresses unique challenges faced by queer clients while promoting self-acceptance and resilience through affirming therapeutic approaches.
