Therapy Approach

Attachment-based therapy focuses on strengthening healthy emotional bonds and repairing the impact of early relationship patterns. It can help clients build more secure, trusting relationships and develop a stronger sense of self-worth. This approach is particularly helpful for those navigating issues related to trust, connection, and emotional resilience.

EFT helps clients understand and reshape emotional patterns that may be creating challenges in their relationships. By addressing emotional needs and strengthening emotional security, clients can experience deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships. EFT can be particularly powerful for individuals and couples working through conflict, attachment wounds, or relationship stress.

Mindfulness practices help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily experiences without judgment. By staying present in the moment, clients can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and respond to stress with greater calm and clarity. These tools can be woven into sessions and daily life for lasting resilience.

Narrative therapy invites clients to view their experiences as stories — ones that can be explored, reinterpreted, and rewritten. It empowers clients to separate themselves from their problems, recognize their strengths, and create more hopeful life narratives. This approach can be especially helpful for clients feeling stuck in self-critical or limiting patterns.

Person-centered therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their feelings, values, and goals at their own pace. By fostering genuine acceptance and empathy, this approach helps clients build greater self-confidence and discover their inner strengths. It honors each person’s natural capacity for growth and change.

Play therapy uses creative and playful activities to help younger clients express feelings, process experiences, and develop coping skills. Adjusted to be age-appropriate, it allows preteens and teens to work through emotional challenges in a safe and developmentally supportive way. Play therapy often helps build emotional awareness, problem-solving skills, and resilience.

Relational therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships — both past and present — in shaping emotional well-being. It focuses on how connections with others influence self-esteem, boundaries, and communication. Clients often find this approach helpful for improving relationship dynamics, healing attachment wounds, and building healthier interpersonal skills.

Strength-based therapy focuses on recognizing and building upon clients’ existing skills, values, and resilience. Instead of centering on deficits or problems, this approach highlights personal strengths and resources. It fosters empowerment, self-efficacy, and a greater sense of possibility in navigating life’s challenges.

For clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process, I offer the option of integrating Christian values and perspectives into our work together. Faith-integrated therapy can provide additional support for navigating life’s challenges through a lens of hope, purpose, and spiritual growth. This option is always client-led and tailored to your personal beliefs, preferences, and comfort level.
