Therapeutic Approach

In my therapeutic approach, I adopt a relational and collaborative framework that incorporates a balanced blend of directive guidance and open processing techniques.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    Has your progress in talk therapy stalled? Do you feel like you can rationally talk about your concerns, but there are still parts of you that are emotionally numb or blocked off? EMDR is a body-based therapy that helps individuals process memories and experiences, freeing your mind and body from distressing sensations and beliefs. Learn more >

  • Internal Family Systems

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy perceives the mind as composed of distinct parts, each with unique traits and functions. It focuses on comprehending, reconciling, and healing these parts, frequently by acknowledging and dealing with the diverse internal roles or "parts," aiming to foster self-awareness, healing, and integration within the individual.

  • EMDR + IFS. Why combine them?

    Integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can be beneficial as both approaches complement each other's strengths. Combining these approaches allows individuals to use EMDR to process traumatic memories while utilizing IFS to understand and harmonize the different parts of the self, creating a more comprehensive and holistic healing process. This integration enables individuals to address both the surface-level symptoms and the deeper, underlying aspects of their experiences, fostering a more profound and integrated healing journey.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches embracing life's uncontrollable aspects and taking purposeful steps aligned with personal values. It emphasizes mindfulness, clarifying individual values, and engaging in committed actions to enhance mental flexibility, reducing the impact of negative thoughts and emotions.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a focused method that explores how thoughts, emotions, and actions connect. It aims to recognize and confront harmful thought patterns, substituting them with adaptive, more helpful ways of thinking to ease emotional strain and enhance overall mental health.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    Psychodynamic therapy explores subconscious processes and past experiences to deeply comprehend their impact on current behaviors and emotions. It strongly emphasizes examining unresolved conflicts, frequently within relational contexts, to heighten awareness and facilitate psychological healing and personal growth.
