Individual therapy is a space to process emotions and experiences from the past and present while also exploring worries, uncertainty, and concerns about the future. At times, life can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or questioning how we want to move forward.
I view therapy as having two important parts. The first is having a space where you can slow down enough to reflect, process emotions, and better understand yourself and your experiences. The second is learning practical ways to work with stress, emotions, and your nervous system so that you feel more grounded and capable in your daily life.
Together, we work to increase awareness of patterns, emotional responses, unmet needs, and the choices you make in relationships and in life. With greater awareness comes the opportunity to respond differently, care for yourself more intentionally, and make decisions that are more aligned with your values and the life you want to create.
Individual therapy is also a space to be with whatever shows up, with me in your corner as you deepen your understanding of yourself and consider how you want to show up in the world.
While talk therapy can bring understanding, I’ve found that deeper change also requires engaging the body and nervous system. Together, we’ll explore how stress, emotion, and memory live in the body and how awareness and compassion can help you shift those patterns.
My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), somatic awareness, and narrative practices. These modalities invite curiosity, self-compassion, and embodied understanding.
You’ll learn to recognize the parts of you that overthink, strive, or shut down and explore how each one has been working to keep you safe. When these parts feel seen and supported, new pathways for calm and confidence begin to open.
No two sessions look exactly the same.
Some days our work may be more experiential. You might be be guided through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) exercise, bring awareness to your breath and the sensations in your body, or use mindfulness and guided reflection to explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
Other days are more practical and skill-based. We may explore patterns of thinking, develop new coping strategies, learn communication tools, or use cognitive and behavioral techniques to help you navigate challenges in daily life.
Some sessions feel reflective and emotional. Others feel lighter and focused on recognizing growth, celebrating progress, or creating a clearer path forward. Each session is shaped by what feels most helpful for you in that moment.
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and honest. Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a deeper understanding of themselves and the next steps they want to take.
As a strengths-based therapist, I believe personal development involves reconnecting with your values, your strengths, and your capacity for choice and direction.
If you feel ready to have a weekly space for yourself, with a compassionate witness and ally, to take in the good, the bad, and the messy, I’m here to support you.
