My Approach
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Each person comes with their own story, needs, and goals, which is why I draw from a variety of approaches to create a personalized path for healing and growth. Together, we’ll explore what resonates most for you and adapt along the way, so your therapy feels supportive, effective, and uniquely yours.
Below are a few of the most common evidence-based approaches I use throughout therapy. Modalities used are based on individual need which may include approaches not listed. If you are interested in meeting but do not see a specific type of therapy you are interested in, please reach out for a free consultation for more information.
-
Relational Therapy
Relational therapy focuses on the healing power of relationships — including the one we build in therapy. By exploring patterns of connection, communication, and trust, we can better understand how past experiences shape present relationships and work toward creating healthier, more fulfilling connections.
-
Attachment Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy helps you understand how early relationships impact your sense of safety, trust, and closeness with others today. Together, we’ll identify patterns, heal attachment wounds, and foster a stronger sense of security in yourself and in your relationships.
-
Mindful Self-Compassion
Mindful self-compassion combines mindfulness with the practice of treating yourself with the same kindness you offer others. This approach helps you quiet self-criticism, respond to challenges with gentleness, and cultivate resilience by learning to be a supportive ally to yourself.
-
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT a humanistic evidence-based psychotherapy which helps us understand, accept and transform our emotions to improve overall well-being and relationships. EFT is based on the idea that emotions are central to our sense of self, decision-making, and relationships. Rather than viewing emotions as problems to be fixed, EFT treats them as signals that guide healing and personal growth.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Informed Therapy
DBT-informed therapy combines acceptance and change, teaching skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships. This approach is especially helpful if you feel emotions intensely or struggle with patterns of self-criticism, conflict, or overwhelm.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and heal the different “parts” of yourself. In this work, we explore protective patterns and past wounds with curiosity rather than judgment, strengthening your connection to the core Self that holds clarity, calm, and wisdom. IFS supports deep healing by softening old patterns and creating new ways of relating to yourself and others. It is especially helpful for trauma, attachment wounds, and inner conflict, offering a path toward greater balance, self-understanding, and wholeness.
