Therapeutic Approaches

Some approaches I might use in our work together include:

 

EMOTION-FOCUSED WORK

to go to the heart of each emotion, recognizing that emotions connect the body and mind, the past and present, and our biology and life story

 

SOMATIC WORK

to address sensory and movement experience particularly as this domain relates to trauma and early attachment issues

 

PSYCHODYNAMIC WORK

to discover habitual patterns of relating and to realize new ways of connecting

 

MINDFULNESS-BASED WORK

to promote radical inclusivity, a means to embrace all of reality as it is

 

HUMANISTIC/TRANSPERSONAL WORK

to address how we give meaning to our lives

 

ATTACHMENT/RELATIONAL WORK

to allow whatever arises in relationship to promote deeper connection

 

COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL WORK

to change unhelpful beliefs about yourself, others, and the world
