01. Attachment

Attachment theory explores how our early relationships—particularly with caregivers—shape the ways we connect with others and ourselves throughout life. What was modeled to us in terms of emotional connection, responsiveness, and safety can deeply influence how we navigate relationships as adults. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to experience safe, supportive attachment—one where you are met with empathy, understanding, and care. This can help heal old wounds, shift patterns of disconnection, and foster a healthier relationship with yourself and others. In this space, you can re-learn how to be emotionally attuned to your needs and build more secure, fulfilling connections.

02. Trauma Informed

Trauma refers to experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope, leaving us feeling helpless, unsafe, or disconnected. It can be a single event or a series of events, like abuse, loss, or neglect, and it can affect both the mind and the body. When we experience trauma, our nervous system often stays in a heightened state of alert, making it difficult to feel safe or relaxed in everyday situations. This can show up as anxiety, intrusive memories, dissociation, or feeling constantly on edge. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system and works to restore balance, helping you feel more grounded, safe, and in control.

This approach is consent-based, meaning you are always in control of your healing journey. I trust that you know your needs best, and together, we can move at a pace that feels right for you. You are not required to share anything before you’re ready, and we can go as slowly as needed to ensure you feel safe and supported every step of the way.

03. Somatic

Somatic therapy focuses on the deep connection between your body and mind, recognizing that emotions and past experiences are often held within the body. Physical sensations—like tension, discomfort, or pain—can offer important clues to unresolved emotions or trauma. In somatic therapy, we explore these sensations to help you understand and release what’s been stored. Through techniques like mindful breathing, gentle movement, and body awareness, we work together to help you reconnect with your body, process past experiences, and find a greater sense of balance. It’s a powerful way to heal and become more grounded in yourself.

04. Feminist/ Queer

Therapy through a queer and feminist lens acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression, gender norms, and heteronormativity on mental health and relationships. It creates space to unlearn limiting narratives, embrace identity, and explore relationships, power, and pleasure on your own terms. This approach values self-determination, centers your lived experience, and challenges the idea that healing happens in isolation—recognizing that identity, culture, and community all shape personal growth.
