Therapeutic Framework
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Together, we’ll explore what you need—emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ll draw from different mind-body approaches to support your unique journey. Each session is shaped around you, at your pace, and with deep care.
🌿 Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing helps us tune into the body to release stress and trauma that may be “stuck” in the nervous system. Instead of talking only about the past, we gently notice sensations like tightness, heat, or breath. This helps your body complete the stress response and feel calmer, grounded, and safe.
🎯 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you how to stop fighting your thoughts and feelings—and start focusing on what really matters to you. You’ll learn how to accept difficult emotions, stay present, and take small, meaningful steps toward the life you want, even when things feel hard.
🧩 Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS sees your mind as made up of different “parts”—like a worried part, a sad part, or a protective part. Sometimes these parts clash or take over. We work gently to listen to each one with compassion, so you can feel more in control and whole—like all parts of you are finally on the same team.
💞 Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps you understand your emotions and how they affect your relationships. It’s especially useful for couples or anyone struggling with feeling disconnected. Together, we explore patterns in how you react and connect, and work toward building stronger, safer emotional bonds with yourself and others.
🌬 Polyvagal Theory
This approach focuses on your nervous system—how it shifts between feeling safe, shut down, anxious, or overwhelmed. When we understand what’s happening in the body, we can learn how to soothe ourselves using simple tools like breath, movement, and grounding. It helps you feel more connected and less reactive.
🧘♀️ Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
This approach helps you notice what’s happening in your thoughts, feelings, and body without judgment. Through mindfulness practices and behavior tools, you learn how to respond to life instead of reacting. It brings more calm, clarity, and choice into your daily experience.
