MY APPROACH
My therapeutic approach is rooted in somatic awareness, client-centered care, and compassionate connection, fostering a collaborative and relational space for healing. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Life Therapy, Language of Emotions, Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to create a personalized path forward. Healing is not one-size-fits-all—it’s shaped by your unique journey, needs, and preferences. Whether we’re working individually or relationally, I tailor our sessions to align with what feels most effective for you. Together, we craft a therapeutic experience that supports you in achieving personal growth, emotional resilience, and deep self-awareness. Life’s challenges can feel like turbulent waters, but the right therapeutic frameworks act as guiding vessels, helping you navigate uncertainty toward greater stability and inner peace. If you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey, let’s move forward together.
Transformative Therapy Tailored to You
IFS is a powerful therapeutic approach that recognizes and works with different parts within us—some protective, some carrying emotional wounds. Through this modality, I help clients foster self-awareness and healing, allowing them to build emotional balance and inner harmony..
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy integrates body awareness with talk therapy, unlocking healing through movement, posture, and nervous system responses. By mindfully following the body’s cues, clients address trauma, attachment wounds, and limiting beliefs stored within.
Relational Life Therapy helps build deep, authentic connections by combining healing with education. It empowers individuals with lifelong tools for healthy relationships, using direct yet compassionate guidance to address negative behaviors. RLT fosters trust while encouraging personal accountability, ensuring lasting change long after therapy ends.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) strengthens relationships by enhancing emotional bonds and attachment security. It helps individuals and couples understand their attachment styles, identify patterns causing disconnection, and build trust for deeper intimacy. By fostering open communication and emotional responsiveness, EFT creates lasting, meaningful connections.
Emotions shape our actions and well-being. Suppressing or mismanaging them can create challenges, but developing emotional intelligence helps navigate life’s ups and downs. Through experiential exercises, you’ll explore emotions like anger, fear, grief, and joy, gaining the skills to understand and work with them effectively.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals embrace challenges while pursuing a meaningful life. By fostering psychological flexibility, ACT reduces avoidant coping and encourages values-based actions. This mindfulness-based approach integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to enhance emotional resilience and personal growth.
Transformation Begins With Support
Our work is deeply rooted in cultural and historical awareness, recognizing how systemic oppression—patriarchy, capitalism, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, colonization, and classism—shapes identity, relationships, and communities. These entrenched societal structures influence how we perceive and experience the world, often reinforcing cycles of harm. By fostering critical consciousness and deep self-awareness, we help individuals untangle from these oppressive forces and move toward a life centered on liberation, empowerment, and authentic connection.
Growth and Healing Through Relationships
A strong, trusting relationship between client and therapist is the foundation of effective therapy. No framework or technique can replace the power of a safe, attuned, and collaborative connection. I invite you to schedule a consultation where we can explore your goals, discuss my approach, and determine if we’re the right fit for your healing journey. If we move forward, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. If it’s not the right match, I’m happy to provide referrals to trusted professionals who can support you in finding the right path.
