Therapeutic Approaches I Use

Integrative, Trauma-Informed Care

Your healing is unique, so our work together will be tailored to your needs. I draw from several approaches that support deep, lasting change:

  • EMDR Therapy: A gentle, structured approach that helps process painful or overwhelming memories and reduce emotional triggers. EMDR can support healing from trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and more.
  • Somatic Therapy:Your body holds wisdom. Somatic therapy helps regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and bring more awareness to the mind-body connection.
  • Attachment-Based Therapy: Our early relationships shape how we connect with others. This approach gently explores relational patterns and builds healthier, more secure ways of relating.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy: A deeper exploration of the emotions, beliefs, and past experiences that may be influencing your present life.
  • Gottman Therapy: Gives couples practical, compassionate tools to communicate more clearly and connect more deeply.
