Individual Psychotherapy
I approach individual therapy from the perspectives of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (a somatic based talk therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Both emphasize the importance of mindfulness in living and healing. Mindfulness refers to the quality of attention one brings to the present moment: observing without judging. I also incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with some clients.
The initial focus in therapy is often on reducing distress by learning new skills and developing new resources. In later phases of therapy, you may opt to address traumatic experiences, attachment wounds or habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving or engaging in the world.
