My approach

Grounded in evidence. Adapted to you.

I draw from several well-researched modalities rather than applying a single rigid framework. What we use together will depend on who you are, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping to change.

01

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helping you connect your thoughts to your behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the way we experience the world around us. Often, the beliefs and thought patterns we develop throughout our lives can influence how we respond to challenges, relationships, and difficult emotions. When these patterns become unhelpful, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and feeling stuck.

In our work together, I will help you identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be impacting your emotional well-being. Together, we will explore the beliefs and assumptions that shape how you view yourself and your experiences, while developing healthier ways to cope with challenges. Through reflection, skill-building, and practical strategies, we will work on increasing self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and creating meaningful changes in your daily life.

My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges. CBT can help you develop new perspectives, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

02

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Helping you process and desensitizes trauma.

EMDR helps individuals process and heal from distressing experiences that may continue to impact their emotions, beliefs, relationships, and daily life. Sometimes, difficult or overwhelming experiences can become “stuck” in the nervous system, leading to feelings of anxiety, fear, shame, emotional distress, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

In our work together, I will help you safely explore the experiences that have shaped you while identifying the thoughts, emotions, and body sensations connected to those memories. Through the use of EMDR techniques, including bilateral stimulation, we will work to help your brain reprocess painful experiences and develop healthier, more adaptive beliefs about yourself and your ability to cope.

EMDR therapy is conducted at a pace that feels safe and supportive, with an emphasis on building trust, emotional regulation, and coping skills throughout the process. My goal is to help you reduce the emotional impact of past experiences, strengthen your sense of self, and create space for healing, growth, and a more fulfilling present.

03

Attachment Therapy

Helping you understand your patterns in relationships

Our earliest relationships play a powerful role in shaping how we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. The ways we learned to seek comfort, respond to conflict, and meet our emotional needs often become patterns that continue into adulthood. While these patterns may have helped us adapt or survive in the past, they can sometimes leave us feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics, struggling with self-worth, or finding it difficult to trust, communicate, or feel emotionally safe.

Attachment therapy focuses on understanding these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we will explore how your early experiences and significant relationships have influenced your current relationships, emotional responses, and beliefs about yourself. You may notice patterns such as people-pleasing, fear of abandonment or rejection, difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism, emotional avoidance, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

In our work together, I will help you identify these patterns as they arise, both in your daily life and within the therapeutic relationship. We will explore the emotions beneath your behaviors, challenge beliefs that no longer serve you, and develop healthier ways of responding to yourself and others. I may incorporate mindfulness, emotion regulation skills, self-compassion practices, and reflective exercises to help you better understand your needs and communicate them more effectively. Together, we will practice setting boundaries, building trust, increasing emotional awareness, and creating more secure ways of relating.

04

Somatic Therapy

Helping you connect with you

Our bodies often carry the effects of stress, trauma, and overwhelming life experiences long after the events have passed. Somatic therapy recognizes the powerful connection between the mind and body, helping you understand how emotional experiences can show up physically through tension, anxiety, chronic stress, numbness, or a feeling of being disconnected from yourself. Rather than focusing only on thoughts, somatic therapy invites us to listen to the body’s wisdom as an important part of the healing process.

In our work together, I’ll help you develop a greater awareness of your body’s signals and how your nervous system responds to stress, relationships, and past experiences. Using techniques such as grounding, breathwork, mindfulness, movement, and body awareness, we’ll work to regulate your nervous system, process difficult emotions, and increase your capacity to feel present and safe. I’ll support you in recognizing patterns that may be keeping you stuck, building resilience, and developing practical tools you can use outside of therapy.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe and empowering. As you build greater self-awareness and nervous system regulation, you’ll be better equipped to respond to life’s challenges with confidence, strengthen your relationships, and move through the world with a greater sense of balance, connection, and well-being.

My philosophy

The approach behind the approach.

The specific modality we use matters less than the quality of the relationship we build. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic alliance — the sense of trust, safety, and genuine collaboration between client and therapist — is one of the strongest predictors of good outcomes.

I bring evidence-based tools because they work. But I bring them through a relationship built on respect, curiosity, and the genuine belief that you are capable of change.
