Specialized Therapeutic Modalities
To facilitate deep and lasting healing, I am an Registered Nursed Psychotherapist trained in several specialized, evidence-based trauma therapies which include the following:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mental health and coping skills.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the neurobiological effects of ketamine with structured psychotherapy to facilitate deep psychological healing, trauma processing, and lasting behavioral change.
Sensorimotor therapy is a body-centered psychotherapy that integrates physical sensations, movement, and emotional processing to heal trauma and attachment-related difficulties.
Forensic therapy encompasses the psychological assessment, evaluation, intervention, and treatment of individuals who have committed violent crimes or are otherwise in the legal system. Victims and families may also be involved in forensic therapy.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors.
EMDR is a structured psychotherapy that helps individuals process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model that views the mind as a system of multiple “parts” guided by a core Self, aiming to heal wounded parts and restore inner harmony.
TF-CBT is an evidence-based, structured psychotherapy designed to help children and adolescents recover from trauma and reduce PTSD symptoms.
Therapeutic Areas Of Expertise
If you think or feel that you may have any of these its best to contact a mental health professional. I regularly help patience through the following:
Overwhelming tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like a racing heart or rapid breathing. This is the body's built-in "fight-or-flight" response to real or perceived danger.
Find support to regain motivation, hope, and enjoyment in everyday life. Together, we'll work to understand what's underneath it and help you reconnect with what matters most.
Break free from patterns of substance use that no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore what's underneath them and build healthier ways to cope.
Work toward understanding the roots of these patterns and building new, healthier ways of relating to others and the world around you.
Work toward healthier decision-making, emotional regulation, and improved interpersonal functioning.
Work through relational patterns and communication challenges to build stronger, more connected family bonds.
Navigate large mood swings of intense highs and lows that affect your energy, motivation, and relationships. We'll work together to build stability, self-awareness, and sustainable coping strategies.
A safe, supportive space that respects your identity and helps you navigate life's unique challenges.
Develop deeper self-awareness around relational patterns, and work toward healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.
Navigate intense emotions and relationship patterns with practical tools for stability, self-worth, and lasting connection.
Bridge the gap between how you and your loved ones express and understand each other, fostering clearer, more compassionate communication.
Find steady support and guidance through transitions like separation, divorce, or blending families, so change feels less overwhelming.
