Individual Psychotherapy
I offer 50-minute individual psychotherapy sessions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. For new clients, I typically recommend beginning with weekly sessions, as consistency can help us build a strong therapeutic relationship and create space to more deeply understand the patterns, emotions, and experiences bringing you to therapy.
My approach to therapy is warm, curious, compassionate, and holistic. I believe healing involves more than simply understanding ourselves intellectually - it can also mean learning to listen to what our emotions, bodies, relationships, and nervous systems are communicating.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, depression, trauma, identity, and the many questions that can arise when life begins to shift. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes therapy begins with simply knowing that something feels off, noticing the same patterns repeating themselves, or feeling curious about who you are and how you want to move through your life.
Our work together is collaborative and shaped by what you need. There may be sessions where we make connections between your past and present, explore patterns within relationships, or spend time with emotions that have been difficult to access. At other times, our work may be more experiential - slowing down, noticing what is happening in your body, or becoming curious about the different parts of yourself that emerge in response to an experience.
My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, somatic approaches, mindfulness, meditation, yoga-based practices, and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET). Rather than approaching therapy as a process of “fixing” what is wrong, I hope to create a space where you can become more curious about yourself, deepen your understanding of your internal world, and reconnect with the strengths, values, and wisdom you already carry.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the therapeutic process. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation so we can connect, talk about what is bringing you to therapy, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach to therapy rooted in the idea that we all have different “parts” of ourselves. You may have a part that overthinks, a part that strives for perfection, a part that wants to keep everyone happy, or a part that feels anxious, angry, shut down, or overwhelmed. While we can sometimes feel frustrated by these parts of ourselves, IFS invites us to approach them with curiosity rather than judgment.
Often, the parts of us that create challenges in our lives developed for a reason. They may have learned to protect us from pain, rejection, disappointment, vulnerability, or experiences that once felt too difficult to navigate. Through IFS, we work to better understand these protective patterns, build relationships with the parts underneath them, and create more space for compassion, choice, and connection to Self.
I incorporate IFS throughout my work and often use it as a framework for helping clients understand their internal world. Rather than asking, “How do I get rid of this part of me?” we can begin to ask, “What is this part trying to tell me, and what might it need from me?”
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind-body approach designed to help identify and address unresolved emotional stress. Sometimes we can understand an experience intellectually and still notice that our body reacts as though something remains unresolved. Certain situations, relationships, memories, or patterns may continue to bring up emotional or physical responses even when we logically understand where they come from.
NET uses a combination of conversation and muscle testing to help identify emotional stress responses that may be connected to past experiences. Once identified, we work with the connection between the emotion, the body, and the original experience with the intention of helping the nervous system process and release some of the stress associated with it.
I integrate NET into psychotherapy when it feels appropriate and aligned with a client's therapeutic goals. It can be especially meaningful for clients who feel like they have already talked through or intellectually understand something but continue to notice a strong emotional or body-based response.
NET is not about erasing memories or eliminating emotions. Instead, it offers another way of exploring the connection between our experiences, emotions, and bodies - and creating space for a different response in the present.
Interested in NET Without Therapy?
You do not need to be an ongoing psychotherapy client to experience NET. I offer standalone NET sessions for individuals who are curious about the mind-body connection and interested in exploring emotional stress patterns through this approach.
Standalone NET sessions are separate from psychotherapy and are offered on a self-pay basis. No ongoing therapy commitment is required.
