What type of therapist are you?
As a psychotherapist, I utilize talk therapy. I subscribe to various modalities in order to meet you where you are. I provide a safe sounding board and can be the encourager in your life. I frequently use modalities and interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I am in training for EMDR (Ey Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) a highly effective treatment for trauma and anxiety-related conditions.
