My Approach

What You Can Expect: A Step-by-Step Process

 

1. Understanding What’s Happening: We’ll explore the deeper issues—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelming emotions, cycles of addiction, or repeated conflict in relationships, we’ll work to understand the root causes rather than just managing the symptoms.

 

2. Building Awareness and Skills: Using tools from CBT and DBT, I’ll help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, regulate difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. You’ll learn practical strategies to manage anxiety, reduce cravings, set boundaries, and stay grounded in the present.

 

3. Processing and Healing Core Wounds: When you're ready, we gently begin the deeper work of healing emotional pain. Using approaches like AEDP and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, we will work through past trauma and attachment wounds in a way that’s compassionate and empowering—so those experiences no longer define or control your life.

 

4. Strengthening Relationships: If relationship issues are part of what brings you to therapy, we’ll focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and breaking negative cycles. Whether you’re working individually or as a couple, the goal is to create more connection, safety, and satisfaction in your relationships.

 

5. Creating Lasting Change: As therapy progresses, you'll notice not just relief from symptoms, but a deeper shift in how you relate to yourself and others. We’ll reinforce the growth you’ve made and develop a plan to support continued well-being long after therapy ends.
