Therapy Approaches
No Single Theory Can Fully Explain the Complexity of Being Human.
Different therapeutic traditions illuminate different parts of our experience. Some help us understand where our patterns came from, while others bring us closer to what is happening in the present moment. And yet still some others help us understand the ways we protect ourselves, relate to others, or make meaning from our lives.
My work is integrative; I draw from different approaches depending on what we're trying to understand and what might actually help you as a unique individual.
My Toolbox.
Depth & Meaning
These approaches explore the deeper patterns, meanings, and stories that shape how you experience yourself and your life. They give us ways to understand not only what is happening, but where it may have come from and what meaning it has taken on.
Existential Therapy
Exploring questions of meaning, identity, freedom, responsibility, and uncertainty while creating a life that feels more authentic and intentional.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns continue to shape your relationships, emotions, and sense of self today.
Jungian Therapy
Exploring dreams, symbols, and the deeper patterns of your inner life to cultivate greater self-understanding, authenticity, and personal growth.
Experiential & Emotional
Sometimes understanding a pattern isn't enough—we need to experience something differently. These approaches bring us closer to what is happening emotionally and relationally in the present moment. Together, we notice what happens when something vulnerable gets close, how you protect yourself, and what may become possible when an old pattern appears between us in real time.
Gestalt Therapy
Increasing awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships by exploring what is happening in the present moment with curiosity and honesty.

Parts Work
Developing a more compassionate relationship with the different parts of yourself, helping internal conflict give way to greater understanding and integration.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Understanding how your earliest relationships influence the way you connect with yourself and others, creating space for more secure and fulfilling relationships.
Couples & Relationships
Relationships can bring out some of our deepest needs, fears, and patterns. These approaches help us understand the cycles that partners can get caught in while building the emotional safety, communication, and practical skills needed to create a more connected and resilient relationship.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy
Strengthening emotional connection by understanding the patterns that keep you and your partner stuck and creating new ways of reaching for one another.
Gottman Method
Building a stronger relationship through research-based strategies that improve communication and strengthen trust.
Skills & Psychological Flexibility
Sometimes insight needs to be paired with new ways of responding. These approaches help you develop practical skills for working with difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations while becoming more flexible in how you respond to them. The goal isn't to eliminate discomfort, but to have more choice in how you move through it and toward what matters to you.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Developing greater psychological flexibility by learning to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions in ways that align with your values instead of fear.
