An eclectic approach to therapy…

  • AEDP

    Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a talk therapy focused on quickly processing difficult emotions and trauma by accessing innate resilience, creating a safe therapeutic bond, and fostering healing experiences. It helps clients move from distress to flourishing by exploring painful feelings, working through defenses, and amplifying positive affect (feeling good, alive, resilient) to build new coping skills and transform emotional wounds. 

  • IFS

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a simple model that says your mind isn't one single thing but a system of many "parts," like an inner family, with a wise, calm core called the Self. These parts have jobs: some are protectors (managers, firefighters) keeping you safe from past pain, while others are vulnerable "exiles" holding old wounds. IFS helps you talk to these parts with compassion, understand their good intentions, and heal the burdens they carry, bringing inner harmony.

  • EFT

    Emotionally Focused Therapy is a structured psychotherapy approach developed primarily for couples, families, and individuals to improve relationship dynamics and emotional bonds. It is grounded in attachment theory, emphasizing that a secure emotional connection is essential for mental health and resilience.

  • Psychodynamics

    Psychodynamic therapy is a talk therapy focusing on how past experiences, especially early childhood ones, and unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories shape current behaviors and struggles, aiming to bring hidden conflicts into awareness for resolution and personal growth. It explores themes like defense mechanisms, unresolved conflicts, and patterns (e.g., repeating bad relationships) to build insight, helping individuals understand their motivations and make conscious choices.

  • Somatics

    Somatic therapy helps release trauma and stress stored in the body by focusing on physical sensations, not just retelling the traumatic story. It uses gentle techniques to help the nervous system self-regulate, release trapped survival energy, and build resilience, allowing the body to complete interrupted responses and return to a state of balance. 

  • EMDR

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy helping people process traumatic memories, reducing their emotional distress by linking disturbing experiences with new, positive feelings, often using bilateral stimulation like eye movements while recalling the memory, allowing the brain to naturally reprocess and heal.
