Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful approach that fosters emotional exploration, self-awareness, and personal growth. By helping individuals connect with their emotions and recognize recurring patterns, EFT supports the development of healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I’ve found that integrating EFT techniques into my therapeutic work has empowered many clients to better understand themselves, ultimately leading to more balanced, meaningful, and joyful lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a strong foundation in my therapeutic work. While many of the topics we explore together may be challenging, they often lead to valuable insights into the way you think—and how those thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors. Increasing awareness of your thought patterns is a powerful first step toward creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I’ve always enjoyed using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in my work with clients. I weave DBT tools into sessions to help people better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is especially helpful for learning quick, effective ways to manage strong emotions, make sense of what you're feeling, and shift unhelpful reactions into more supportive responses—right in the moment.

Psychodynamic

I use Psychodynamic therapy when I feel it fits a client best according to their therapy goals. The goal can be to experience a remission of symptoms but also derive benefits such as increased self-worth, better use of a patient’s own talents and abilities, and an improved capacity for developing and maintaining more satisfying relationships. This can be a very rewarding therapeutic approach for clients!

Compassion Focused

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is designed to support people who struggle with shame, self-criticism, anxiety, or the effects of trauma. So often, we find ourselves caught in a harsh inner dialogue, where the critical voice takes over and leaves us feeling stuck in fear, worry, or not being enough. CFT gently helps shift that inner voice, guiding you toward a more compassionate, understanding, and supportive relationship with yourself. I’ve found that using Compassion-Focused Therapy has been especially powerful for clients who feel weighed down by self-criticism or shame. Many come in feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, fear, or “never being enough.” Through CFT, clients begin to notice the voice of self-criticism and learn how to soften it with compassion. Over time, this shift often leads to greater emotional balance, reduced anxiety and depression, and an increased sense of self-worth. Clients frequently share that they feel calmer, more confident, and more at peace in their relationships—not because their struggles disappear overnight, but because they’ve built a kinder, steadier relationship with themselves.
