Therapeutic Modalities
I believe therapy is most effective when it is tailored to your unique history and goals. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities with a relational focus, helping you understand the patterns that keep you stuck while building practical tools for lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking. By identifying these patterns, we can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. It is a powerful tool for navigating anxiety, depression, and stress, providing practical strategies to foster lasting change in your daily life.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT focuses on building practical skills for navigating intense emotions and improving relationships. By integrating mindfulness with concrete strategies for distress tolerance and emotional regulation, it helps you find balance between acceptance and change, allowing you to move through life with greater stability and presence.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Focusing on how early relationships influence current behavior and emotional health. Attachment-based therapy explores how our earliest bonds, typically with caregivers, shape the way we perceive ourselves and interact with others as adults. By understanding these foundational patterns, we can heal old wounds and develop more secure, fulfilling connections in our adult lives.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores the deep-rooted patterns and unconscious processes that shape how you feel and relate to others today. By understanding how your past experiences influence your present self, we can uncover the origins of your emotional distress and work towards long-lasting, meaningful change.
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners strengthen their friendship, manage conflict, and create shared meaning. By identifying specific behaviors that predict relationship distress and replacing them with constructive communication tools, we work to build long-term intimacy and stability.
Somatic Practices
Exploring the connection between physical sensations and emotional well-being. Somatic practices help you tune into the wisdom of your body, releasing stored tension and trauma that traditional talk therapy might not reach. By integrating body awareness, we create a more holistic path to healing and resilience.
