I use a variety of methods to help you reach your desired goals. I find that a combination of the theories below help you better understand yourself, your needs, and gives you several tools and skills to utilize when stressful circumstances or symptoms arise.
ACT is based on the idea that trying to avoid or control painful thoughts and feelings often leads us away from the life we truly want. Instead of focusing on eliminating symptoms, ACT helps you build the skills to accept what’s outside of your control and commit to actions that reflect your values. While symptom reduction isn't the primary goal, many people do experience relief as they begin making more meaningful and values-based choices.
EMDR is a research-backed approach to healing from trauma and distressing experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—to help the brain reprocess painful memories in a way that feels less overwhelming. EMDR is grounded in the idea that the past often shows up in the present, shaping our current emotions, beliefs, and reactions. Gaining insight into how past experiences continue to affect you today can be a powerful step toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.
