Treatments
It's important that I work with each client on an individual basis to understand their unique needs. If you decide to move forward with therapy, we'll discuss the treatment modalities that may be a good fit for you.
Many of my clients find success with therapeutic approaches, including:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): This modality of therapy works to recognize and redirect negative thought patterns, making it easier to stop undesirable patterns of behavior.
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): This specialized technique utilizes bilateral brain stimulation to support the integration and processing of traumatic memories.
- Psychotherapy: This type of counseling offers a safe space to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that foster understanding, healing, and behavior change.

Here are some helpful definitions to guide you through…
OCD, better known as obsessive compulsive disorder is a disorder of an over loved habit. Washing hands, because your worried about germs, or cleaning your house until it sparkles. It is a disorder of many things. If you suspect OCD, get help
PTSD, If you have faced a traumatic experience, you may simply feel emotionally numb to begin with, and feelings of distress may not emerge straight away. But sooner or later, you are likely to develop emotional and physical reactions, and changes in behavior, which may include some of the following:
Reliving aspects of the trauma
- vivid flashbacks (feeling that the trauma is happening all over again)
- intrusive thoughts and images
- nightmares
- intense distress at real or symbolic reminders of the trauma.
Avoiding memories
- keeping busy
- avoiding situations that remind you of the trauma
- repressing memories (being unable to remember aspects of the event)
- feeling detached, cut off and emotionally numb
- being unable to express affection
- feeling there’s no point in planning for the future.
Being easily upset or angry
- disturbed sleep
- irritability and aggressive behavior
- lack of concentration
- extreme alertness
- panic response to anything to do with the trauma
Depression. When you have depression, it's more than feeling sad. Intense feelings of sadness and other symptoms, like losing interest in things you enjoy, may last for a while. Depression is a medical illness, not a sign of weakness. And it's treatable.
