Integrating EMDR, Sensorimotor Therapy, IFS, and Psychodynamic Therapy I do not use a single therapeutic approach; instead, I integrate different professional modalities to address complex psychological needs: 1 IFS (Internal Family Systems): I have completed Level I training in IFS. IFS is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand their different internal "parts" and heal trauma and emotional distress. In individual, couples, and family therapy, IFS focuses on the protective patterns behind conflict, promoting more stable, secure, and connected relationships. 2 Somatic Therapy, Sensorimotor and EMDR: I have completed Level I training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as Level I and II training in EMDR. These evidence-based modalities listen to and soothe the trauma signals held in the body, because trauma exists not only in memories but is also imprinted in the body. This "from the surface to the core" integrative approach aims not only to relieve your current symptoms but also to help you rebuild a sense of inner safety in your body, fostering lasting change and growth. 3 Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Therapy: I have received years of clinical training at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis helps us deeply explore the roots—whether from childhood experiences or inner insecurities—that lie beneath conscious awareness and continue to influence your behaviors and relationship patterns. At the same time, relational psychoanalysis allows me to see beyond surface behaviors and better understand your needs within the therapeutic relationship.
