It’s not about fixing what’s “wrong” with you
Therapy is a chance to develop curiosity, courage, and compassion as you explore your patterns, process past experiences, and discover your strengths. If you've tried therapy before and found that understanding alone wasn't enough, this approach is built for you, especially when emotional pain lives in the body and doesn't fully come through in words. Alongside conversation-based methods, I use somatic techniques such as focused attention on bodily sensations, grounding exercises, and gentle movement. These simple practices can help you reach and process emotions that talking alone may not, opening the door to deeper healing.
A Holistic Approach
I use evidence-based methods shaped to fit your needs.
-
I draw on strengths-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), grounded in a real understanding of what those careers ask of you.
-
I use several approaches, like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to ease distress tied to traumatic memories, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore different parts of your inner experience, and somatic work rooted in Polyvagal theory, because the body can hold trauma.
-
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to build practical tools you can use in daily life.
-
I use attachment-based therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) to help partners rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and find their way back to each other.
