individual therapy

I work with individuals aged 16 and older. Many people who come to therapy with me are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, boundaries, or experiences of grief and loss. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, and often understand their patterns intellectually yet still feel stuck in their bodies, relationships, or emotional lives. I approach this work from a whole-person, systemic perspective, recognizing that our emotions, relationships, bodies, and life experiences are all interconnected.

Therapy with me is collaborative and responsive to who you are. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we develop a plan of care together that can evolve as our work unfolds. Your voice and perspective are essential in shaping the direction of our work.

I also openly acknowledge that therapy naturally involves a power dynamic. My goal is to create a relational space where that dynamic can be discussed openly and where we work together as a team. Consent, transparency, and ongoing dialogue are an important part of the process.

In our sessions, we pay attention not only to thoughts and patterns, but also to the nervous system, emotional experience, and the protective parts of you that developed over time. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your own capacity for healing, growth, and self-understanding. By the end of each session, we identify at least one practice you can bring into your daily life to help support the changes you are working toward.

Our work draws from several approaches depending on your needs. These include Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which helps process emotions through moment-to-moment exploration; somatic practices such as body scanning and focusing to explore emotions in the body; mindfulness-based practices that support nervous system regulation and cultivate internal steadiness; and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand different parts of the self. At times, we may also incorporate cognitive-behavioral tools when structure or practical strategies would be helpful. By slowing down and paying attention to emotional and physical experiences as they unfold, therapy can begin to create greater clarity, connection, and movement.
