Evidence-Based Approaches to Therapy
EMDR
(Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a reprocessing therapy that helps people heal from difficult or overwhelming experiences. Through guided eye movements or other forms of gentle bilateral stimulation, it supports the brain in processing memories so they feel less distressing and easier to carry.
Mindful Self-Compassion
The practice of Mindful Self-Compassion teaches us to bring awareness to ourselves, our emotions, and our struggles, connect to our shared humanity, and treat ourselves as we would a dear friend. MSC explores the Yin and Yang of self-compassion, the fierce and the nurturing ways we take care of ourselves.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
D.B.T. in an evidenced based therapy that teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. With DBT we find the wisdom in our emotions and learn to validate ourselfs and others.
Somatic Therapy Informed
Somatic Therapy to help clients reconnect with their bodies and process emotions that may be stored physically. By incorporating body awareness, breathwork, and gentle movement, we work together to regulate the nervous system and promote healing from a trauma-informed lens.
Polyvagal Therapy
By understanding how our nervous system responds to stress, we can recognize when we’re in survival mode and learn ways to shift toward safety. Through connection, awareness, and choice, we can help our bodies feel more regulated and at ease.
Feminist & Anti-Oppressive Therapy
I believe that the personal is political. Connecting our struggles to their wider political context helps us to gain perspective, connect to our shared humanity, and fight against oppression.
