Approaches that address the body, memory, and life stories

Many clients find a mix of methods helpful rather than a single technique. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider different, more helpful ways to understand past events and current choices. Somatic, body-based approaches focus on how stress and trauma show up in the body and teach simple grounding and regulation exercises to reduce physical tension and reactivity. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a structured approach used to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and to change distressing patterns tied to those memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over time the plan can shift based on progress and new priorities so the work stays practical and focused on what matters to the client.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between appointments. It can also help people use tools learned in session in real life, because practice happens in the context of day-to-day routines.
