Attachment-focused therapy helps you understand how early relationships shaped the way you connect, trust, and feel in present relationships. Whether you struggle with closeness, fear abandonment, or feel unsure how to be emotionally vulnerable, this approach helps you build safer, more secure connections with others and with yourself. We explore your attachment patterns with warmth and curiosity, helping you create new experiences of connection that are safe and healing.

Psychodynamic therapy helps you explore how your early relationships and past experiences shape your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll gently uncover unconscious patterns that may be keeping you stuck or disconnected. This approach helps you build deeper insight and healing by making sense of the emotional themes and relational dynamics that have followed you over time. You don’t need to relive everything, but we’ll give those old wounds the attention they’ve quietly needed.

EMDR is an evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain process and re-store painful memories that may be stuck or emotionally charged. We use gentle bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) while focusing on specific memories or beliefs. You remain fully in control during the process. EMDR does not erase your past, but it can reduce the emotional weight and allow you to feel more grounded, safe, and whole. Click here to learn more about EMDR and Trauma Therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offer practical tools to help you shift unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, and strengthen boundaries. CBT focuses on identifying the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT adds tools like distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches can be especially useful if you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, shame, or emotional dysregulation. I use these skills in a flexible and compassionate way that supports your real life, not just theory.

Somatic therapy supports the connection between your mind and body. Many people store stress, trauma, or emotional pain in their bodies without realizing it. This approach helps you tune into physical sensations, tension, and nervous system cues as part of the healing process. You’ll learn how to feel safer in your body, regulate stress responses, and build a deeper sense of calm and presence. Somatic work is especially helpful if you feel disconnected from your body or emotions. Click here to learn more about Somatic Therapy.

IFS is a gentle, non-pathologizing model that helps you explore your internal world through the lens of “parts.” We all have different parts that hold pain, protect us, or carry beliefs we’ve absorbed over time. For example, a critical part may try to push you to succeed, while another part feels stuck or ashamed. In IFS, we create space to understand and care for these parts, rather than judging them. Healing happens as you reconnect with your core self and learn how to bring more compassion to your inner world.

Narrative therapy helps you look at the stories you carry about yourself, your relationships, and your experiences. Often, we may not realize how much our lives are shaped by negative or limiting stories that come from past pain, trauma, or the expectations of others. In narrative therapy, we take a step back and explore those stories together. This approach allows you to see your strengths, values, and resilience more clearly and begin creating new ways of understanding yourself. By re-authoring your story, you can find freedom, hope, and a greater sense of meaning in your life.

I welcome clients who connect through creativity and imagination. Whether you’re drawn to anime, manga, books, gaming, music, poetry, or art, these interests can be powerful tools in the therapy process. Together, we can use what speaks to you to explore emotions, build insight, and support your healing in a way that feels authentic and engaging.

Holistic therapy honors you as a whole person: mind, body, emotions, and spirit. We look at how your physical health, nervous system, relationships, daily rhythms, and values all interact with your emotional well-being. This approach may include grounding practices, lifestyle shifts, creative expression, or reflection on your beliefs. You don’t have to separate parts of yourself to feel better. Holistic therapy invites all of you into the process of healing.

If your faith or spirituality is important to you, I’m honored to hold space for that in our work together. This can include prayer, scripture, meditation, reflection, or simply exploring how your beliefs intersect with your mental health journey. Our work will always align with your comfort and values.
