Modalities for Connection
I utilize an eclectic mix of therapy styles,
but these are my all-stars:
-
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy separates the individual from the problem, allowing them to externalize their issues rather than internalize them. This can help you clearly and confidently connect with your own skills, identity, and sense of purpose to guide you through difficult times.
-
Family Systems Therapy
Family systems therapy focuses on the family/relationship as a whole unit, where individual behavior is considered within the context of the entire network. Family Systems work focuses on helping all people in the group feel more empowered and satisfied within their relationships.
-
Attachment & Parts Work Therapy
Attachment therapy works with how we form emotional bonds, helping you become more secure in your relationships. Often relevant is Parts Work, which attends to conflicts between “parts” of ourselves — like the part of you that’s excited for therapy and the part of you that’s nervous — that, when unresolved, can sabotage your efforts toward healing. I use an Internal Family Systems-informed approach.
-
Somatic Approaches
Somatic therapy places importance on what we experience in both body and mind. By exploring the connection between the two, we can learn deeply powerful (but often hidden) truths about your strengths, worries, and needs. With me, “body focused” means listening to your own body, not being touched during therapy. My favorite modalities are Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal-informed.
