Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and multi-faceted. This means that you, the client, get to decide how we use our time in therapy together! Iām always happy to provide options or guide clients in directive activities that are supportive in engaging with your goals, but nothing is ever mandatory.
My style is informed by many therapeutic frameworks and modalities including:
Play Therapy (for kids and adults!)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work
Check out these tools and activities for grounding that can support you to self-soothe and regulate at home:
EFT Tapping (demonstration and instructions)
Butterfly Hug (bilateral stimulation)
Light Stream (visualization)
Safe Calm Place (visualization)
Glimmers (learn about and practice noticing!)
Loving Kindness Meditation (guided meditation)
Get creative! Sometimes creating can help us get out of our heads, invite in new energy, and provide a helpful distraction
