confused about who they are and what they can do to gain a sense of control back in their life.
First session
Our first session would be structured around securing basic but necessary information about you, your history, and the current issues you want to work on through therapy. However, just like any other first meeting, I'll do my best to introduce myself, my practice, and my approach in treatment so that you're informed in what to expect in therapy with me. Most importantly, I hope my clients would feel comfortable to be open enough by knowing they have a choice in pacing how the therapy is going to proceed, deciding how much they share and what to share especially in the first session.
Strengths
As a certified EMDR therapist, EMDR is my primary modality in the treatment. My approach to using EMDR revolves around believing in a person's innate ability to self-heal given proper guidance, insights, tools, and unwavering support. EMDR is going to help you retrain your body's response to your triggers, increase insights about your difficulties and what you need to move forward. You will take an active role in reprocessing unprocessed memories that negatively affect your present life. I am going to be an ever-present-ears to hear you out, guiding you through the process of getting unstuck from your past adaptively while accompanying you as a witness and support on your healing journey.
Ideal clients
My primary focus is understanding, guiding, and supporting clients as they take the time to discover who they are beyond external circumstances or current mental health challenges. Clients who approach therapy with curiosity, perseverance, and willingness to take a collaborative role in the process often benefit the most and begin to uncover potential that may have been lying dormant in them :)
Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is designed to desensitize a person from unwanted upsetting/distressing memory or emotional/physical reactions and change maladaptive beliefs to adaptive beliefs while engaging in the introspection.
Jungian
Jungian approach allows a person tap into the deeper sense of self where a person can gain more insight on one's emotional/behavioral difficulties and find inner resources.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is becoming more intentional on placing one's attention by increasing self-awareness and acceptance of one's internal experiences. This approach will increase one's capacity to deal with unwanted/distressing internal experiences including emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations and gain sense of centeredness as by-products.
Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal theory will increase knowledge on our biological makeup in emotion regulation and would allow a person to be more equipped in retraining body's response in emotion regulation.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting will give you an access to a deeper level emotional and bodily processing of your disturbing internal materials while it fosters your ability to be present with your internal experiences.
