evidence-backed therapy styles to encourage lasting change
helpful Methods and Modalities I use in therapy sessions
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you understand and heal the different “parts” within yourself — the protective, reactive, and wounded aspects that shape how you think and feel.
By building compassion and curiosity toward these parts, IFS guides you toward greater self-understanding, harmony, and emotional freedom.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
This groundbreaking therapy technique helps people heal from the emotional distress of traumatic experiences.
It works by using bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) empowers parents to help their children manage anxiety by changing their own responses.
Instead of focusing on the child’s symptoms, SPACE teaches caregivers how to reduce accommodations and model calm, supportive confidence — helping kids build resilience and independence over time.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape the way we connect, trust, and communicate today.
If you’ve ever felt anxious in relationships, struggled with self-worth, or found it hard to rely on others, this approach can help you understand why — and learn to create healthier, more secure patterns.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy recognizes that the body carries our life experiences, including shock, trauma, and emotional pain. Through techniques that promote body awareness somatic therapy helps restore the nervous system to a state of healthy self-regulation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a science-backed, goal-oriented therapy that helps people manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thought patterns. It’s based on the idea that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, meaning that shifting negative thinking can lead to positive changes in how we feel and act.
