My work is primarily grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps us understand our emotions, relationships, and recurring patterns.

I approach therapy through the lens of human connection which I often call attachment. Our earliest and most important relationships can shape how we understand ourselves, respond to difficult emotions, and connect with the people around us.

I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), an approach that helps us gently explore and understand the different parts of our inner world. In our sessions, we may talk about the cycles in which you feel stuck, the parts of you that emerge during difficult moments, and the emotions beneath your reactions. We will slow things down so you can better understand what is happening both within you and in your relationships.

When working with young children, I use developmentally appropriate play, art, games, and creative activities grounded in attachment principles even via Telehealth. With adolescents who need practical tools for managing intense emotions, I may incorporate skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

For clients requesting faith-based counseling, I thoughtfully integrate Christian beliefs and spiritual concerns into our work. I believe attachment-based therapy can offer a meaningful way to explore our relationships with ourselves, others, and God. We can discuss what faith integration will look like for you and ensure that it supports your goals for therapy.
