My Approach to Our Work Together

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  CBT is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you recognize and challenge patterns of negative thinking that fuel anxiety, overwhelm, and low self-esteem. Together, we’ll identify the thoughts and beliefs that keep you stuck, explore how they affect your emotions and behaviors, and develop new ways of thinking that are more balanced and supportive. You’ll learn skills to manage worry, cope with stressful situations, and feel more empowered in your daily life. These tools are not only effective for reducing anxiety but can also help you navigate life transitions with greater confidence.

• Attachment-Based Therapy
  Your earliest relationships set the foundation for how you connect with others and see yourself. Attachment-Based Therapy helps you understand and heal patterns formed in childhood or past relationships that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of insecurity, fear of abandonment, or emotional withdrawal. In our sessions, we’ll explore your attachment style and experiences with caregivers, so you can gain insight into your needs and fears in relationships. By processing these wounds in a safe, supportive space, you can develop a more secure sense of self, feel worthy of love, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

• Mindfulness Practices
  Mindfulness is more than meditation — it’s a way of relating to your thoughts, emotions, and body with curiosity and compassion. Mindfulness practices help you tune into the present moment, reduce rumination about the past or worry about the future, and respond more calmly to life’s challenges. Together, we’ll practice mindful breathing, body awareness, and simple exercises you can incorporate into your day-to-day life. By strengthening your ability to stay grounded, you’ll feel more centered, resilient, and able to handle stress with greater ease.

• Somatic Techniques
  Somatic techniques address the ways stress, anxiety, and trauma live in the body, not just the mind. These body-centered practices help you release chronic tension, calm your nervous system, and build a deeper sense of safety and connection within yourself. We’ll use gentle approaches like guided breathwork, grounding exercises, and mindful movement to help you become more aware of physical sensations, complete stress cycles, and regulate intense emotions. This work can be especially transformative if you’ve experienced trauma or feel disconnected from your body, empowering you to heal from the inside out.
