My Approach

You might not even realize how much the past still shapes your present, but it often does. Through psychodynamic therapy, we’ll explore those underlying patterns and early experiences to help you make sense of what you’re feeling now. It’s all about building insight, healing from the inside out, and making space for new ways of being

Trained in Phase 1 Brainspotting, I help clients explore what’s beneath the surface—especially when emotions are hard to name. This method uses eye positioning to reach the brain’s natural healing zones, making it a gentle, somatic way to process trauma and stuck feelings without needing to explain everything out loud.

Have you ever felt anxious or overwhelmed for no clear reason? Our bodies often carry stress in ways we don’t even notice. Somatic therapy offers a way to listen to what your body is saying and gently work through what words alone can’t reach. I blend this with other tools to help you feel more at ease.

I use Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help clients understand the emotional patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others. You might notice yourself shutting down, overthinking, or feeling distant. Together, we explore what’s underneath those reactions. This work helps you feel more grounded, emotionally connected, and able to show up more fully in your life and relationship

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful approach I use to help clients work through trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. By using gentle eye movements or tapping (called bilateral stimulation), we help the brain reprocess distressing memories and shift the beliefs tied to them. This allows painful experiences to feel less overwhelming and helps you respond to life with more clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a way of getting to know the different sides of you—like the part that worries a lot, the part that pushes you to do more, or the part that gets really down or shuts people out. These parts usually formed to protect you, especially if you’ve been through hard things. In our work together, we’ll get curious about those parts instead of judging them, and help them feel more understood. Over time, this helps you feel more grounded, more like yourself, and less stuck in old patterns like anxiety, low self-esteem, or people-pleasing
