Individual Therapy
My Approach
Doing therapy is deep and powerful work, and my intention is to create a space to facilitate true, meaningful and lasting transformation by bringing together brain science, art, clinical knowledge and lived human experience into the therapeutic space.
With me, therapy is a partnership and you’re not alone on your journey of healing, growth and change. I am right there along with you doing my part to heal, grow and live life fully present. I became a therapist because of my own path of healing.
Working With Me
I love when the process of therapy is rich, meaningful and engaging and I know how hard it can be to get started with such a big investment in yourself. That’s why I invite you to meet with me for a full 30 minutes, free of charge, so you can get to know me a bit and have your questions answered.
I bring my expertise to the table through therapy modalities such as Internal Family Systems/ “Parts- Work”, Expressive Art, Somatic Experiencing/Polyvagal Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and more. .
What Can Change Mean For You?
Together, we will build a vision of what transformation could look like for you and what steps you and I will both take to support you on that path; we often begin by building connection and trust with your body and emotions; learning how to navigate emotions with respect and acceptance; building connection with what safety feels like in your body, and connect to your core values. We will also explore and process important past experiences and make peace with parts of yourself you may have distanced from.
