Psychotherapy

I provide individual psychotherapy to young adults and adults, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space grounded in warmth, directness, and deep respect. My approach is collaborative and attuned, with a focus on getting to the root of what’s causing distress—moving beyond surface-level fixes.

I support clients through a range of challenges, including:

• Anxiety and stress

• Procrastination

• Low self image and esteem

• Harsh inner critics

• Life transitions and identity development

• Career burnout and high-pressure work environments

• Perfectionism and impostor syndrome

• Relationship and attachment wounds

• Obsessive thoughts

• Depression and feelings of stuckness or isolation

• Trauma and complex trauma

Through our work together, you may experience:

• Reduced anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity

• Greater clarity, focus, and sense of direction

• Increased ability to regulate emotions

• More awareness of internal patterns that get in your way

• Expanded resilience and capacity to handle life’s challenges

• Deeper connection to yourself and others

• Stronger communication and interpersonal effectiveness

• More freedom from old roles and reactive behaviors

• A fuller sense of self-compassion, trust, and emotional intimacy

My Approach:

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a powerful model that helps you explore and heal the parts of yourself that carry pain, protect you from further harm, or hold you back in unseen ways. I also integrate research-based practices from trauma therapy, mindfulness, somatic work, and systems theory. These methods allow us to work not just cognitively, but emotionally and experientially—supporting change that feels lasting and aligned.

I see you as a whole person, not a set of symptoms. My role is to help you access your innate capacity for healing, insight, and growth. Whether you're struggling with patterns that no longer serve you, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or simply want more from your life—I’m here to walk with you toward that next chapter.

What to Expect in Therapy:

Starting therapy can feel both hopeful and overwhelming. Here’s a snapshot of what working together looks like:

• Format & Flexibility
  Sessions are 50 minutes and offered virtually or in-person, depending on what works best for you. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum, and we may adjust frequency as your needs evolve.

• Your First Session
  Our first meeting is a chance to get to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brings you in, your hopes for therapy, and anything that feels important about your background or current situation. I’ll also answer any questions you have about the process so you feel informed and supported.

• Ongoing Work
  Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface—not just coping day-to-day, but uncovering patterns, healing old wounds, and building resilience. You’ll set the pace, and we’ll adjust as we go.

• How to Prepare
  You don’t need to do anything special. Just bring yourself as you are. Some clients like to jot down thoughts or goals ahead of time, but it’s not required.

• What You Might Feel
  It’s normal to feel a mix of relief, vulnerability, or even uncertainty when beginning therapy. My role is to create a safe, collaborative space where all parts of you are welcome where you can feel less alone and supported.

• Relationship Fit Matters
  One of the most important ingredients to successful therapy is a strong relationship fit. Feeling comfortable, understood, and supported by your therapist is essential to making meaningful progress.

• How to Get Started
  The first step is scheduling a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, discuss what you’re looking for, and see if we feel like a good fit. There’s no obligation—it’s simply an opportunity to get a sense of each other before moving forward.
