Individual therapy
Therapy built entirely around you.
A collaborative space to understand what is happening, strengthen what is already working, and create change that lasts beyond the session.
The work
Your experience guides the plan.
Your goals, pace, culture, history, relationships, strengths, and nervous system all shape treatment. We can be practical, exploratory, trauma-focused, or a thoughtful combination.
When something needs to change
Anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, mood instability, relationship patterns, self-harm, identity concerns, grief, major transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
Capacity beyond the session
Greater emotional awareness, healthier coping, clearer boundaries, more compassionate self-understanding, and practical ways to respond differently when old patterns appear.
Warmth with direction
You will be met with empathy and honest feedback. Therapy is not passive; we notice what is happening and practice new ways of relating to it.
Safety before intensity
Trauma work is never forced. You choose what to share, and we build enough stability and trust before approaching experiences that feel difficult.
IFS-informed care
Meet every part with curiosity.
Internal Family Systems offers a respectful way to understand the different “parts” of you that may protect, criticize, avoid, overwork, or react strongly. Rather than treating those responses as flaws, we can explore what they are trying to prevent and what they may need.
IFS-informed work can help create more space between an intense reaction and the choice you want to make next.
- Recognize protective patterns without shame
- Understand conflicts between different needs
- Approach vulnerable emotions at a tolerable pace
- Build self-compassion and clearer internal leadership
From first contact to ongoing care
A process you can understand.
Initial conversation
Start with your questions and what you are hoping will change.
Assessment and goals
Early sessions clarify your history, current needs, strengths, and what you want to feel or do differently.
Personalized treatment
Sessions may draw from Brainspotting, bilateral sound, IFS-informed work, and other trauma-informed tools as appropriate.
Practice and integration
I walk alongside you, but the journey remains yours. Lasting improvement grows as you practice and apply new skills in your own life.
Personalized care
More than a generic hour of talk.
Sessions connect clinical insight to the relationships, routines, decisions, and patterns that shape everyday life.
- Goals revisited as life changes
- Direct, compassionate feedback
- Attention to culture, identity, and context
- Trauma work paced around readiness
- Practical integration between sessions
