The Methods That Shape Our Work Together
I use a blend of therapeutic approaches to help you build awareness, process emotions, and create meaningful change. Some methods help you reconnect with your body and emotions. Others offer structured tools to shift thoughts and behaviors. Together, we’ll use an integrative approach tailored to your needs to support the healing you deserve.
Gestalt Therapy
An awareness-based, present-focused approach to help you deepen your understanding of the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, breath, and behaviors.
With greater self-awareness, you can:
Experience less emotional discomfort and move toward holistic healing
Feel a greater sense of control and agency in your life
Build and maintain authentic, fulfilling connections
Live in alignment with your true self and values
Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy
A gestalt and somatic type of therapy to help you tune into the subtle, often unconscious movements that shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Together, we’ll explore the habitual patterns that show up in your relationships:
How you move through them
Where you might feel stuck
What new possibilities could emerge
In some sessions, we may experiment with gentle movement-based exercises to deepen your awareness and create space for new ways of engaging with others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you recognize the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—so you can make meaningful changes in your life.
With CBT techniques, you can:
Identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns
Develop practical coping strategies for managing anxiety and stress
Shift toward a more balanced and realistic perspective on life’s challenges
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you feel more in control of your emotions and responses, even in difficult situations.
With DBT, you can:
Manage intense emotions with more confidence
Develop practical coping skills for stress and distress
Strengthen communication and boundary-setting in relationships
Cultivate resilience and self-acceptance
Compassion-Based Therapy
Compassion-Based Therapy can help you cultivate self-compassion and kindness toward yourself and others. It’s especially beneficial if you struggle with self-criticism, shame, or anxiety.
With these techniques, you can:
Develop greater self-acceptance
Learn to self-soothe during times of stress
Strengthen emotional resilience
Deepen connections in your relationships
Somatic Therapy
Body- and breath-focused techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, can help you connect with your physical and emotional experiences.
These techniques serve as both an assessment tool—helping you tune into what you're feeling—and an intervention tool to reduce anxiety, stress, and physical tension.
Through these practices, you can:
Develop a greater ability to self-soothe during stressful moments
Release physical tension and ease emotional discomfort
Improve awareness of your body’s signals and responses
Strengthen your ability to manage anxiety in the moment
Support for What You’re Navigating
These methods support a range of concerns.
Below are some of the areas we might focus on in our work together.
-
Anxiety shows up in so many ways—racing thoughts, tightness in your chest, overthinking, or shutting down. Depending on your needs, we might use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to stay steady during stressful moments, or incorporate somatic practices to help your body and nervous system settle. Our goal is to help you feel more centered, capable, and less caught in the loop of constant worry.
-
Living in a world that questions or erases your identity can take a toll. We might draw from Compassion-Based Therapy to soften your inner critic, somatic or mindfulness tools to build a sense of safety, or Gestalt Therapy to explore what feels most authentic for you. This work creates space for healing and self-acceptance, so you can move through life feeling more grounded and whole.
-
Relationship challenges—whether with partners, family, or friends—can stir up self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or patterns that are hard to break. We might use Gestalt Therapy or Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy to explore how those dynamics live in the body, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy for communication and boundaries, or compassion-based work to navigate shame and unmet needs. Together, we’ll focus on building clarity, connection, and relationships that actually feel good.
When we support the whole of you, healing becomes possible.
Let’s take that step together.
