Individual Therapy
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're grieving a loss, navigating a major life transition, struggling in your relationships, or feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected, therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand yourself, and begin moving toward something different.
I work with adults who are navigating life's complexities and wanting to feel more connected to themselves and others. Some people come to therapy for the first time, knowing something doesn't feel right but not quite knowing where to begin. Others have spent years exploring their histories, understanding their attachment patterns, and developing insight into why they think, feel, and relate the way they do, but still find themselves repeating familiar cycles.
I enjoy working with people at both points in that journey: those who are beginning to make sense of their experiences and those who are ready to move beyond what they already understand and begin creating meaningful change.
You might be navigating a difficult season of life, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in relationships. You might understand where your patterns come from but feel unsure how to shift them. Wherever you're starting, our work can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself while creating new ways of experiencing, relating, and moving through the world.
Some challenges we may work through:
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Anxiety and depression
Relationship struggles
Burnout and overwhelm
Perfectionism and chronic shame
Low self-worth
Emotional disconnection
Whether these struggles are connected to trauma, attachment patterns, neurodivergence, or a difficult season of life, therapy can be a place to better understand what's happening while also building the capacity for something to change.
My Approach
My work is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. I believe insight is valuable, but understanding our patterns doesn't always mean we know how to change them. Sometimes, despite knowing our histories and recognizing our patterns, we continue to experience the same responses, feelings, and relational dynamics.
This is where I believe deeper, embodied work can make a difference.
I take a bottom-up approach to therapy, incorporating somatic work and an understanding of the nervous system alongside relational exploration. Rather than focusing exclusively on thoughts, narratives, and insight, we also pay attention to how your experiences live in your body, how your nervous system has adapted to past experiences, and how these adaptations continue to shape the way you move through the world and connect with others.
Together, we'll explore the patterns that have helped you navigate life while also creating opportunities to experience something new. This might mean developing greater capacity to stay present with difficult emotions, finding new ways to respond when old patterns are activated, experiencing greater safety and connection in relationships, or learning to relate to yourself with more flexibility and compassion.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches into my work. I also draw, when it aligns with your values and interests, from Buddhist psychology. You don't need to have any interest in Buddhism to benefit from this approach; our work is always centered on your goals, experiences, and what feels most supportive for you.
Ultimately, my hope is to help you move beyond simply understanding why you are the way you are and toward experiencing new ways of being. To interrupt old cycles, deepen your connection with yourself and others, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.
