EMDR Trained. I specialize in Trauma, Addiction, and Relationship Issues. Each of these are rooted in the struggle to understand and respond to our emotions in a healthy way which leads to a feeling of being disconnected from ourselves and others. My work in each of these areas focuses on the origin of these struggles. Trauma creates deep emotional wounds that affect the way we view ourselves, others, and the world. Learning how to relate differently to yourself in the scope of traumatic memories will help you to improve your ability to connect with others, yourself, and your environment.

My ideal client is someone who feels trapped by the weight of their past, struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma.

Deep down, they want to heal, to feel at peace, and to regain control of their life—but they’re unsure where to start.

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
