our approach.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Your story matters, and so does your healing. Trauma-informed therapy offers a safe, supportive space where your experiences are met with compassion and care. Grounded in understanding how trauma impacts the mind and body, this approach empowers you to rebuild trust, resilience, and a sense of control over your life. Healing isn’t just possible—it’s within reach.
Relational Therapy
Healing happens in connection. Relational therapy, informed by Gestalt principles and present-focused awareness, explores how your relationships—with others and with yourself—shape your emotions, patterns, and sense of meaning. Through authentic, compassionate engagement in the here and now, this approach supports deeper self-awareness, helps loosen old relational patterns, and fosters more grounded, fulfilling connections in your life.
Integrative Therapy
No two journeys are the same, and your therapy shouldn’t be either. Integrative therapy blends techniques from various approaches to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. By meeting you where you are and adapting to your unique needs, this flexible and holistic approach helps you uncover deeper insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Healing begins in safe connection. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape the way you connect, trust, and relate to others—and to yourself. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, this approach helps you understand old attachment patterns, repair relational wounds, and develop a greater sense of security, self-compassion, and emotional balance.
Somatic Awareness
Your body holds wisdom, and healing happens in the present moment. Somatic awareness, informed by Gestalt principles invites gentle attention to physical sensations, and nervous system responses as they arise in the here and now. This work supports grounding, emotional regulation, and deeper self-understanding—helping healing become an embodied experience, not just something you understand, but something you feel.
Find the right fit for your needs.
