Integrative

I practice integrative therapy, meaning I don’t rely on a single approach or formula. Instead, I thoughtfully weave together evidence based methods to meet you where you are and respond to what you need in the moment. This allows our work to be flexible, personalized, and deeply attuned without losing structure or direction. Integrative therapy creates momentum. We combine insight, practical tools, and values based action to help you move through challenges efficiently and intentionally, using the approaches that will be most effective for you and not a one-size-fits-all model.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients break free from unhelpful patterns of overthinking, avoidance, and self criticism, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them run the show. In our work together, ACT becomes a practical, empowering framework for clarifying what truly matters to you and taking intentional action, even when things feel uncomfortable. This approach is especially powerful in helping clients create momentum, confidence, and real life change that continues well beyond our sessions.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I take a structured yet flexible approach to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, helping clients identify clear, actionable goals from the start. We work together to break challenges into manageable steps, and I track progress using spreadsheets to keep everything organized and measurable. I also assign practical homework, whether it’s trying a new coping skill, having a tough conversation, or engaging in self reflection so clients can apply what we discuss in real life. My goal is to keep therapy forward focused and empowering, helping clients build on their strengths and see real changes.

Mind-body approach

I take a mind body approach to therapy, recognizing how deeply our emotions and physical experiences are connected. I help clients tune into their bodies through practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, allowing them to process emotions in a way that feels natural and grounding. I also encourage real world integration by assigning activities that promote mind body awareness, such as movement exercises, journaling, or sensory based relaxation techniques. By blending psychological insight with bodily awareness, I help clients develop a deeper sense of balance, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

Strength-Based

I use a strengths based approach to help clients recognize and build on the skills, resilience, and wisdom they already carry, often beneath layers of stress, self doubt, or burnout. Rather than focusing solely on what’s “wrong,” this approach highlights what’s working, what has helped you survive and adapt, and how those strengths can be intentionally applied to your current goals.
