I Provide Treatments Proven to Work.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

DBT is one of the most researched, proven effective types of therapy in the world. As one of the few Comprehensively Trained™ therapists in Orange County, I want to be able to give you these concepts to live a skillful, empowered life.

DBT is composed of 4 major components: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation. They can be implemented altogether as a program of skills, or integrated in an as needed skill basis.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing is a revolutionary therapy in which your own brain is doing the processing of traumatic memories and maladaptive behaviors. EMDR is quickly becoming the gold standard in trauma treatment. People have found incredible success processing past traumas such as war, mass shootings, childhood abuse, and sexual assault. This integrative psychotherapy technique can be used when the trauma may be just too difficult to talk about. Current research is showing that treatment gains come about quicker and more efficient than typical Cognitive Behavioral Talk Therapy.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is all the rage these days, and for good reason. Science and research are showing us just how profound these practices can be for anxiety, focus, and attention. Its benefits also include significant decrease in insomnia, increased job performance and creativity as well as overall happiness. My own mindfulness practice over the last decade has been transformational. Unfortunately many people think mindfulness is just sitting in timed silence, which can only help us get further lost in thought. Throughout my years of teaching mindfulness to clients, I’ve found a number of ways to make the practice something anyone can grasp in order to quickly receive the benefits without having to go through the frustration of just sitting in silence.
