Integrative therapy combines multiple therapeutic approaches, allowing me to draw from somatic practices, Internal Family Systems, and traditional therapy based on what would be most helpful in the moment. This flexible approach recognizes that healing happens on multiple levels—through the body, emotions, and mind—and allows us to work with whatever naturally emerges in our sessions while maintaining a foundation in body-based awareness.

As a certified life coach, I tend to blend coaching techniques in with traditional therapy methods, and this works very well for most clients. Similar to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, coaching focuses more on solutions than problems, and encourages the client to find and/or create their own answers and outcomes. Coaching is great for breaking old patterns, creating or changing habits, and achieving new incremental successes.

Somatic therapy works with emotions through the body rather than just talking about them. By learning to recognize how emotions show up physically—like tension, heaviness, or constriction—you can begin to release old patterns at their source. This gentle approach combines traditional therapy with practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional release, creating lasting change that goes beyond intellectual understanding.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) recognizes that we all have different parts of ourselves that carry emotions, beliefs, and patterns from our experiences. By creating a compassionate relationship with these parts while accessing our natural inner wisdom, deep healing becomes possible. This approach naturally complements somatic work, as these parts often express themselves through physical sensations and holding patterns in the body.
