Treatment Approach
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Object Relations Therapy Focuses on how early caregiver relationships shape current relationships. It aims to improve patterns of attachment and trust.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: I utilize a blend of therapeutic approaches to create a compassionate and personalized space that supports your growth and healing. Drawing from relational therapy, I focus on building a safe, trusting connection where your experiences are honored and explored openly.
In our work together, mindfulness practices help cultivate gentle awareness and calm, while somatic therapy encourages tuning into your body’s wisdom to release tension and foster connection. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we explore the different parts of yourself to understand inner conflicts and develop self-compassion. Attachment therapy guides us in understanding early relational patterns and their impact on your current emotional well-being and relationships.
By integrating these approaches, I aim to offer a holistic and tailored path that supports healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.
