Attachment-based

Many of the clients I work with carry deep relational wounds — whether it’s difficulty trusting others, pulling away when things get close, feeling overly responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or never quite feeling secure in relationships. These patterns often stem from early attachment experiences that shaped how we relate to connection, intimacy, and even ourselves. In our work together, we’ll explore how these early dynamics may be repeating in your current life — sometimes subtly, sometimes loudly — and begin the process of untangling what’s no longer serving you. Attachment-based therapy helps you understand your patterns not as flaws, but as adaptations that once kept you safe. I incorporate inner child work, somatic awareness, and EMDR to go beyond insight alone — helping you regulate your nervous system, develop safer internal relationships, and begin to experience connection without fear or confusion. This work can be powerful in building more authentic relationships, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-trust.

EMDR

Sometimes we “know” something logically — that the past is over, that we’re safe now, that we’re doing our best — but our body still reacts as if we’re in danger. That’s where EMDR comes in. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain and nervous system reprocess distressing memories, emotional patterns, or limiting beliefs that keep us stuck. It’s especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, chronic self-doubt, and past experiences that continue to affect how you think, feel, and relate today. In my practice, I use EMDR alongside somatic awareness, inner child work, and nervous system regulation tools to help you safely access and release what’s been stored — without having to relive it in detail. Many clients feel significant shifts in how they react to triggers, see themselves, and relate to the world around them. EMDR can be life-changing for those who feel like they’ve done all the talking and insight work, but still feel stuck in old emotional loops. It’s about healing at the level of the body and brain — not just the mind.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

At the core of my work is the belief that healing happens in the presence of safety, empathy, and real human connection. Person-centered therapy is all about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are — not judged, pathologized, or pushed to fit a mold. I don’t see myself as the expert on your life. Instead, I see you as the expert, and my role is to support your process with compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your inner wisdom. When therapy is grounded in this kind of relationship, it becomes a space where real transformation can unfold — not through pressure or advice, but through presence and empowerment. While I integrate other modalities like EMDR and somatic work, everything I do is rooted in a person-centered foundation. I show up as a real human being in the room — warm, honest, down-to-earth — and I aim to help you connect more deeply with your own truth, your own voice, and your own sense of self.

Somatic

When we experience chronic stress or trauma, it doesn’t just live in our thoughts — it gets stored in the body. Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom, not just symptoms. It’s about learning to listen inward, notice how emotions show up physically, and gently shift the tension, patterns, or stuck energy that talking alone can’t always reach. In sessions, I guide clients through body-based awareness, grounding, and nervous system regulation techniques that support safety, presence, and emotional release. Whether you’re feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected, somatic work helps you feel more at home in your body and more in control of your emotional experience. It’s a powerful way to process what your mind understands but your body still holds.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT, or “tapping,” is a gentle mind-body technique that helps calm the nervous system and shift emotional patterns by tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on a thought, feeling, or memory. It might sound simple — but it can be surprisingly powerful. I use EFT with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in looping thoughts, or carrying emotions that feel too big to just “talk through.” It’s especially effective for trauma, fear, stress, shame, and self-critical inner dialogue — the kinds of feelings that live deep in the body and feel hard to access through words alone. What makes EFT unique is that you don’t just process something — you move it. Clients often describe a sense of lightness, clarity, or emotional release after tapping. And one of the best parts? You can learn to use it on your own, between sessions, as a tool to regulate your emotions and reconnect with yourself. EFT blends well with somatic therapy, EMDR, and inner child work — helping you shift how you feel, not just how you think.
