Approach
There are many different theories, modalities and approaches to psychotherapy.
We are what you might call an “eclectic” therapists; pulling from a variety of theories.
Using a blend of various sources, frameworks and systems helps our therapists meet you where you are and tailor our approach to what you need. In a session we may not tap into all of these different approaches; however you can know they influence and inform our individual beliefs, practices and process of therapy.

Attachment
Therapy from an attachment framework is grounded in the belief that healing happens in the context of safe, trusting relationships. In our work together, you can expect a warm, steady presence—someone who really shows up for you, listens deeply, and helps you feel seen and understood. Together, we explore how your early relationships may be shaping how you relate to yourself and others today—not to dwell in the past, but to create new patterns rooted in connection, security, and self-compassion. It’s a gentle, relational process where you don’t have to go it alone.
-
Emotionally Focused
Therapy through an Emotionally Focused Therapy lens is all about helping you tune into your emotions and the deeper needs underneath them—especially in your relationships. Whether you're coming in as an individual or part of a couple, EFT focuses on creating more safety, connection, and understanding. We’ll gently explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck or disconnected, and work together to shift them in a way that helps you feel more seen, loved, and supported. EFT is a warm, affirming process that helps you access your emotions as a powerful guide toward healing and deeper connection.

Experiential
Experiential therapy is a dynamic and transformative approach to psychotherapy that prioritizes direct emotional engagement and exploration of one's inner world. Rooted in the belief that profound healing occurs through authentic, emotionally charged experiences, this style of therapy encourages clients to actively participate in the therapeutic process. By inviting clients to the present moment and facilitating a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment, experiential therapy empowers individuals to gain insight, process their emotions, and develop new, healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Somatic
Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body. This approach integrates breath work practices to help you slow down, notice and be with your physical sensations in the “here and now.” We work with your nervous system slowly and gently, and in this way you can experience how your emotions move and follow them through to their release. This works to release tension and what feels frozen; freeing you to flow more openly in and through your experiences.
-
EMDR
EMDR is an approach that considers how symptoms of trauma result from past disturbing experiences and memories that continue to cause distress because the experience was not adequately processed. These unprocessed memories contain the emotions, thoughts, beliefs and physical sensations that occurred at the time of the event. When the memories are triggered these stored disturbing elements are experienced and cause the trauma symptoms to activate. EMDR works to reprocess this material and integrate new beliefs, sensations and thoughts.

Narrative
Narrative therapy views people as separate from their problems and centers the client as the expert on their lives. Creating space to identify the core stories you tell yourself, we look at where this story started and how it impacts you today. We look for the buried stories that can be rewritten and woven into the ongoing and future story of your life. This approach also allows us to consider how social and cultural stories and constructs have been internalized in your own life.
