Let's get you the help you need
Individual Therapy
We can work one on one together through sessions. I specialize in CBT, EMDR, DBT, Sandplay Therapy, and Play Therapy for children. My therapy style is collaborative and supportive while respectful of your individual needs. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and specialize in the mental health needs of POC, and especially first-generation college students or professionals in their families.
Group Therapy
I have been leading groups since the late 1990s and over the years have witnessed the amazing healing a safe community can provide. I specialize in group therapy for anxiety and depression with a CBT focus, but I am also interested in providing other types of groups such as art therapy and much more.
Types of Therapy
CBT
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been proven in studies to be effective for a range of problems including depression and anxiety disorders. Â Numerous research studies indicate that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are caused by a disturbing life experience or experiences. Various studies show that EMDR therapy can provide people the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to give people relief from suffering.
DBT
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy tries to identify and change negative thinking patterns and pushes for positive behavioral changes. DBT may be used to treat suicidal and other self-destructive behaviors. DBT included a variety of skills that can help move people toward a life that they feel is worth living.
Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay has been described as a deeply healing psychospiritual method for accessing the human unconscious in a way that brings about profound deep change. It is a safe, effective way of working with preverbal and nonverbal trauma while simultaneously promoting healing. Sandplay is a brain-informed non-directive therapy is based on the work of Dora Kalff and psychoanalyst Carl Jung.
Play Therapy
In my therapy sessions with your child, my work will help support their own understanding of their inner experience. I will encourage and support them to learn to express themselves to you and also support you in being able to understand your child's individual needs. I will offer a caring and supportive space for your child to heal and for you to also gain support from me as a parent. Please contact me to discuss how I can help your child.
