Mindfulness-Based Experiential Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Experiential Therapy (MBET) is a trauma-informed and person-centered approach to counseling that is informed by scientific theory and research. I utilize Hakomi an approach that falls underneath the umbrella of MBET.

Hakomi is rooted in five core principles: Unity, Mind/Body/Spirit Holism, Organicity, Mindfulness and NonViolence. This modality involves mindfulness, a nonjudgemental noticing of what is happening in the present moment, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Hakomi helps to change deeply-held emotional attitudes, beliefs, and neural patterns that can show up as habits, attitudes, and behaviors that can negatively impact our lives.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an attachment-based therapy that promotes secure attachment and connection with self and others. EFT for relationship helps clients to identify negative interaction patterns within the relationship and learn skills to interrupt this cycle and reconnect with one another.

The EFT approach is evidence-based and was created by Dr. Sue Johnson. Over the past 35 years, EFT has been found effective by peer-reviewed clinical research.

EFT is the primary approach I use for couples and family therapy.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a non-pathologizing approach to psychotherapy. IFS views individuals inner experience as system of protective and wounded inner “parts”. These parts play different roles in the system often attempting to protect in ways that may not always be helpful in the client’s current context. IFS helps clients connect to the compassionate Self part which has the understanding and ability to heal and organize other parts of self.

IFS promotes self-compassion, confidence, a sense of calm, clarity, curiosity, and self-connectedness.
