Support That’s Real, Grounded, Intuitive & Designed For You.

I see you as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I draw on a range of evidence-based methods to create a personalized plan. Below is a quick look at some of my key approaches.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a values-based therapy that empowers you to relate differently to uncomfortable thoughts and emotions—rather than trying to eliminate them. We’ll focus on psychological flexibility, so you can adapt to challenges while staying true to what matters most to you.

Attachment Theory

Our earliest relationships shape how we connect with others. Exploring your attachment style can reveal patterns in how you interact and feel about yourself. By understanding these roots, we’ll foster healthier, more fulfilling bonds in the present.

Attachment-Focused EMDR

EMDR is powerful for processing traumatic memories. Attachment-Focused EMDR zeroes in on how early relationship experiences might still be affecting you. This helps reprocess past attachment injuries, building self-trust and emotional security.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT provides practical skills for regulating emotions, navigating interpersonal conflicts, and staying grounded in the moment. It balances acceptance (your feelings are valid) with change (you can learn healthier ways to cope).

EMDR Intensives

For a more focused, accelerated approach, EMDR Intensives offer extended sessions—sometimes over consecutive days—to dive deeper into trauma processing. Ideal if you want to address specific issues quickly or feel you’re moving slowly in weekly therapy.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is a highly effective method for OCD and anxiety-related disorders. By gradually facing what triggers you, while resisting compulsive or avoidant behaviors, you can break free from the anxiety cycle and reclaim control in your daily life.

Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal Theory helps us understand how your nervous system influences feelings of safety, connection, or threat. By learning to recognize and regulate these bodily responses, you’ll experience greater calm and improved social engagement.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-centered approach that acknowledges how trauma and stress can get “stuck” in the nervous system. We’ll focus on physical sensations to release tension and restore a sense of grounding—often without re-telling every painful detail.

Parts Work / IFS-Informed Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) sees your psyche as a “family” of parts, each with its own viewpoint and role. This approach nurtures understanding and compassion for even the most challenging “parts” of you, leading to healing and wholeness.

An Integrative and Adaptive Approach

I don’t limit us to a single framework. Instead, we’ll combine these methods in a way that suits your specific needs—addressing emotional, cognitive, and somatic layers of your experience. Your journey is unique; your therapy should be, too.
