Somatic

In a somatic therapy session, I guide the client to tune into physical sensations in their body to increase awareness of how emotions are stored and expressed somatically. We use grounding and mindfulness techniques to help regulate the nervous system and build a sense of safety. When difficult emotions or memories arise, I support the client in noticing their body's responses without judgment, allowing for gradual release and integration. Throughout the session, I encourage a curious, compassionate connection to the body to foster healing and resilience.

Attachment-based

In sessions with my therapy clients, I will use attachment theory to help them explore how early relationships have shaped their current patterns of relating to others. By identifying their attachment style—secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—I can support clients in understanding emotional responses and interpersonal challenges. This framework will guide interventions aimed at fostering secure attachment behaviors, enhancing self-awareness, and building healthier, more fulfilling relationships both within and outside of therapy.

Humanistic

Using a humanistic approach, I will create a non-judgmental and empathic space that supports clients in accessing their inner strengths and authentic self. I will emphasize unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness to help clients explore their feelings, values, and goals. This person-centered approach empowers clients to move toward self-actualization and personal fulfillment.
