How I Work
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. I use an integrative approach that combines emotional depth, nervous system support, and practical tools — so we’re not just talking about your struggles, we’re helping your system actually shift.
Below are some of the core approaches that shape our work together.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This approach helps us understand how past experiences, early relationships, and long-standing patterns influence how you feel, think, and relate today. It’s especially helpful if you find yourself repeating the same emotional or relational struggles and want to understand the deeper “why.”
We may use CBT tools to understand patterns in thoughts and behaviors. In our work, these tools support deeper emotional and nervous system work — not just surface-level coping.

In addition to emotional and psychological patterns, we also consider how your biology and nervous system influence your mental health. This may include conversations about stress physiology, hormones, and other factors that affect mood and anxiety. I support collaboration with medical or wellness providers so your care feels integrated rather than fragmented.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps you notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations without getting swept away by them. This is especially helpful if your mind tends to stay busy, analytical, or hard to turn off.
Somatic Experiencing
Anxiety isn’t just in your thoughts — it’s in your nervous system. This method helps your body come out of stress and survival states, increasing your capacity to feel grounded, steady, and safe from the inside out.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Our early relationships shape how safe we feel with others and even with our own emotions. This work focuses on trust, emotional security, boundaries, and connection — all of which are closely linked to anxiety and emotional regulation.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Instead of seeing anxiety or self-criticism as flaws, we explore them as “parts” of you that developed for a reason. This approach builds self-compassion and helps you relate to yourself with more clarity and calm instead of internal conflict.
