Main Modalities

  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

This is a somatic (body-based) talk therapy that aims to heal painful symptoms of traumatic events. We will become curious about exploring what your body is telling you through imagery, movements and postures, thought patterns, and sensations. You will build resources to support yourself during times of distress, heal attachment wounding and traumatic memory, and rewrite limiting beliefs to ones that are empowered.

We may integrate parts work to understand your complex, and often conflicting, thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it’s wrong? Maybe you say “yes” when you really want to say “no”. Sometimes we push parts of ourselves away as a way to cope with shame or to try to create change. Parts work can help you make sense of inner conflict and befriend aspects of yourself that you don’t quite get along with. Often times, understanding unhelpful patterns as “parts” of ourselves that developed out of self-preservation can help us befriend these parts instead of shaming them, which helps them soften and shift into something that feels more in line with what we truly want.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

    ACT is an action-oriented approach that is based on working toward the life you want through mindfulness, becoming clear on your values, and committed action. Rather than argue with your thoughts, we instead look at whether your thoughts and actions are bringing you closer or farther from your values and goals. In this way, there is no need to prove if your thoughts and feelings are valid. We will help you find ways to change how you react to your daily experience and become more flexible.

  • Intuitive Eating

    Intuitive Eating is an approach that helps you rebuild trust with your body and your relationship to food. Rather than following external rules or diets, we turn inward—listening to your body’s cues around hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and emotion. Together, we’ll explore the ways you may have learned to disconnect from your body’s wisdom, and begin to gently reestablish that connection with curiosity and care.

    This work helps you notice what comes up around food and body image—especially patterns shaped by diet culture, trauma, or shame. You’ll learn to tell the difference between emotional and physical hunger, meet cravings with less judgment, and make more space for true nourishment. For many, this is a process of unlearning: letting go of the pressure to control or “fix” the body, and instead practicing attunement, permission, and self-compassion. This is not a weight-focused or rule-based approach. There is no “right” way to eat—only what feels supportive and true for you.
