Individual Therapy

Each of us has complicated ways of protecting ourselves from being vulnerable, and those self-protective tendencies are often outside of our awareness. I will help bring these habits into your awareness and teach you to remain kind and open-hearted toward yourself and your loved ones, even in the face of painful emotions. Becoming aware of your habits of disconnection and choosing to do things another way is an unfolding process. I am here to walk with you on that journey with compassion, presence, and perspective either individually, as a couple, or as a family system.

I approach the therapeutic process from a lens of authenticity that begins by building a trusting relationship with the client. I am informed by how we view ourselves in relationship to others and how early experiences in love and attachment shape who we are today. I am also heavily influenced by Internal Family Systems. IFS is an evidence-based psychotherapy model that empowers the inner wisdom of “Self” to bring compassion and healing to the other parts that may create pain and suffering. I also integrate a mind-body connection, believing that the body is often a compass to our inner sense of self.
