Therapy Style

“My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and research-based. I am a trauma-informed therapist, which means that it will be helpful to understand any adverse and traumatic in your life history and life context in order to make sense of current symptoms. This also means that I highly value you having a sense of control and choice about your therapy and our therapeutic relationship.

I integrate somatic (body-based) modalities (i.e., Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trauma-informed yoga), psychodynamic, attachment, and “parts work” theories, mindfulness-based approaches (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion), and Brene Brown’s Shame Resilience Theory.”
