What to Expect in Therapy

Core Beliefs

Explore core beliefs - our deeply held principles that shape our actions, emotions, and responses. These beliefs are formed during childhood and adolescence and continue to influence how we show up as adults. They shape the way we view the world and the people around us.

Trauma Work

We use a combination of Internal Family Systems to explore your history and different parts, Attachment theory to understand your connections with others, and Brain spotting to help you regain a sense of self and safety.

Family History

We can explore your family’s ecosystem, examining how you interact with one another, how emotions are handled, patterns that have been passed down, and the unspoken rules everyone follows.

Relationship Patterns

We help you understand how you communicate and show up in relationships. If needed, we support you in learning how to navigate relationships more effectively, set boundaries, develop secure attachments, and communicate more openly.

Inner Child Work

We take the time to understand all sides of you. Each part of you holds truths about what you’ve experienced throughout your life. Some parts carry heavy burdens, while others work to protect you at all costs.

Skill Building

We work collaboratively to provide you with a range of strategies to address various challenges. Drawing from multiple therapeutic approaches, we equip you with coping skills to manage thoughts, improve interpersonal relationships, enhance mindfulness, build distress tolerance, regulate emotions, and more.
