Modalities
Therapy can be viewed through different lenses, or modalities, each offering a unique way of understanding your goals and concerns. Every lens comes with its own set of tools, which we can use together to best support your needs.
Each session is personalized and often blends several modalities. I rely on evidence-based approaches and continually deepen my knowledge through training and education to broaden my expertise and provide effective, holistic support.
Some of the lenses I use most often include:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps you identify unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thinking, and practice healthier ways of coping so you can make meaningful changes in your daily life.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach that helps you explore your own motivations for change. Rather than telling you what to do, it supports you in clarifying your values and strengthening your confidence to make empowered choices that feel right for you.
-
Mindfulness encourages bringing gentle, nonjudgmental awareness to the present moment. By noticing thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations with openness, it can reduce stress, increase calm, and create more intentional ways of responding in daily life.
In sex therapy, mindfulness helps people connect more fully with their bodies and experiences, easing anxiety and enhancing intimacy.
-
Sensate Focus is a step-by-step approach that encourages partners to explore touch and intimacy in a relaxed, pressure-free way. By shifting attention away from performance and toward curiosity, pleasure, and connection, it helps reduce anxiety and fosters greater comfort and closeness in sexual relationships.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a trauma-informed approach that views each of us as having different “parts” within ourselves—like the parts that want to protect us, the parts that carry pain, and the parts that help us move forward. IFS helps you get to know these parts, heal wounded places, and connect with your core Self. This process can bring greater balance, clarity, and self-acceptance.
-
Attachment Theory explores how our earliest relationships shape the way we connect with others as adults. Understanding your attachment style can shed light on patterns in how you give and receive love, handle conflict, and build trust. In therapy, this awareness can support healthier, more secure relationships—both with yourself and with your partner.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. Instead of struggling to eliminate them, ACT teaches skills for acceptance, mindfulness, and aligning your actions with your values. This approach supports greater flexibility, resilience, and a deeper sense of living in line with what matters most to you.
