Individual Therapy
Making sense of yourself, and creating change that lasts.

​

There are moments in life when even the strongest among us feel stuck, caught in patterns we can’t quite name, repeating old stories, or weighed down by grief, betrayal, or anxiety that won’t let up. Individual therapy is a place to step out of the noise, slow down, and look more closely at the threads that shape your life. Together, we’ll trace where those patterns began, how they still show up now, and what new possibilities might emerge when you learn to meet yourself with both honesty and compassion.

How I Help

I integrate both depth-oriented and skills-based approaches, tailoring therapy to your needs. These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): practical tools for changing thought and behavior patterns

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): aligning daily choices with core values, even when emotions feel overwhelming

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): exploring and integrating the different “parts” of yourself with compassion

  • Somatic Experiencing (SE): calming the nervous system and releasing trauma stored in the body

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): building presence and reducing stress through awareness practices

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): transforming self-criticism into self-acceptance and resilience

  • ​

Areas of Expertise

I work with a wide range of concerns, from day-to-day stress to deeply complex relational and trauma patterns. My expertise includes:

  • Betrayal trauma and relational wounds (infidelity, secrecy, broken trust)

  • Sexual health and intimacy challenges, including out-of-control sexual behavior, mismatched desire, and compulsive patterns

  • Young adults navigating identity and sexuality, including struggles with using sexuality for validation or attention, and the pressures of dating and intimacy

  • Family-of-origin dynamics, such as parent–child enmeshment, intergenerational trauma, or the lingering impact of growing up in high-pressure or emotionally unavailable homes

  • Broader mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, perfectionism, and life transitions

  • Neuroscience-informed therapy, understanding how the brain and nervous system shape emotional and relational patterns

  • Chronic illness and nervous system dysregulation, addressing the psychological toll of living with ongoing health conditions

What You Can Expect

  • A safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly

  • Deeper understanding of how past experiences shape your present

  • Tools for managing anxiety, depression, or stress

  • Support in breaking cycles of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-sabotage

  • A process of moving from awareness to action — toward a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and fully your own
