I will work with you to help you create a new path forward. We’ll start by understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. Together we co-create a custom-made path that is meaningful to you and realistic for you to practice new ways of being. Below are the primary approaches I draw from in our work together.
HOCI and DARTT
Whether I am working with individuals, parents and child(ren)/adolescent, or couples, my approach is largely influenced by the Healing Our Core Issues (HOCI) Model and Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapy (DARTT). The HOCI model identifies six core issues at play when we feel emotionally charged, shut down, or in conflict within ourselves or with others. DARTT enlivens a new response within us using mindfulness, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and neurobiology.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses bilateral stimulation to relieve physical and emotional symptoms tied to a specific negative event — such as an accident, harm, or loss. EMDR can also help reduce anxiety about a future event such as athletic or academic performance. Healing can occur without having to talk through the painful details of a memory.
DBT
I am DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Trained. Upon request, I provide psychoeducation and homework to practice DBT skills and track inner states and behaviors. The four pillars of DBT are mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — principles that align closely with DARTT.
Neurofeedback & Neurotherapy
Neurofeedback offers a safe, effective approach to optimize your brain to feel better, think better, and perform better in all areas of life. A personalized EEG protocol trains your brain to move out of the states creating symptoms and into the states associated with your goals — helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep, chronic pain, TBI, and more.
DBR
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a gentle, neuroscience-informed approach to healing trauma developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan. By tracking subtle bodily sensations rather than retelling painful experiences, DBR allows the nervous system to process and release what has been held in the body — supporting a greater sense of calm, clarity, and ease.
