Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-based therapy explores how our relationship experiences shape us. Our early relationships and experiences can shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate closeness. Sometimes, the ways we've learned to protect ourselves or seek connection can show up in our relationships today. Attachment-based therapy helps us understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so we can explore what we need, feel more secure in our relationships, and find new ways of connecting with others.

I also believe that healing can happen through the relationships we build, including the relationship we develop in therapy. As your therapist, I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to show up as you are, express your needs, and explore parts of yourself that may feel vulnerable. Through our relationship, we can begin to create new experiences of connection, trust, and understanding that may feel different from what you've experienced in the past. Over time, these experiences can help you develop a greater sense of security in yourself and your relationships.

Humanistic Therapy

I believe we're all capable of growth and change, and that we don't need to be fixed or become someone else to get there. Our experiences and the expectations we've learned to carry can shape how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible for us. Humanistic therapy is about understanding you as a whole person and honoring your humanity by making space for all the different parts of who you are, including the parts that may feel difficult to understand or accept. I don't see myself as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who can sit alongside you as we make sense of your experiences together. I believe there's something meaningful about our shared humanity and the ways we can feel seen, understood, and connected. My hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are, getting curious about what you need, and finding ways of relating to yourself that feel more compassionate and true to who you are.

Experiential Therapy

Sometimes, understanding something in our heads isn't the same as actually experiencing it for ourselves. Experiential therapy invites us to slow down and pay attention to what's coming up for us in the moment, including our feelings and reactions. Rather than just talking about what's happening, we make space to explore what we're feeling and what those experiences bring up for us. I believe that what happens in therapy can help create change in ways that go beyond just understanding ourselves better. As you begin to experience yourself differently in our work together, you may start to see yourself in a new light, respond to yourself with more compassion, and discover new ways of approaching situations that have felt difficult in the past.

Narrative Therapy

The stories we tell ourselves about who we are can be shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the expectations we've encountered along the way. Sometimes, these stories can leave us feeling stuck or believing things about ourselves that no longer serve us. Narrative therapy helps us explore how these stories have developed, make sense of the experiences that have shaped them, and consider new ways of understanding ourselves and our lives.

Person-Centered Therapy

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and that therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to explore your experiences openly and honestly. Person-centered therapy is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for growth and change when we feel understood, accepted, and supported. My role is to meet you with curiosity and care, without judgment, while helping you make sense of your experiences and discover what feels right for you.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Our relationships can bring up some of our deepest feelings and vulnerabilities, especially when we feel disconnected from the people we care about. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps us understand the emotions and needs beneath our reactions and the patterns we can get caught in with others. In couples therapy, we'll explore how these patterns affect your connection and work toward new ways of communicating, responding to one another, and building a stronger sense of emotional closeness.

Systems Theory

The way we see ourselves and relate to others is shaped by the relationships we're part of and the worlds we grow up in. Our families, culture, communities, and experiences all play a role in how we learn to navigate life and relationships. As a systemic therapist, I want to understand you within the context of your life and the experiences that have shaped you. Together, we'll explore how these experiences continue to show up in your life today and make sense of the patterns you've learned along the way.
