Therapy for Adults
"Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."~Brene Brown
Psychotherapy for Adults
This is your space of self-exploration in a co-created relationship. Having a compassionate witness on your journey is truly what begins the healing process.
Heal and Grow
We will untangle what’s weighing you down, reconnect with yourself, and create the changes you need to feel more at peace. It’s a process that helps you grow, heal, and discover what truly matters so you can live a life that feels more satisfying and grounded.
Whether you’re looking for clarity about your next steps, struggling to feel like yourself, or just needing someone to walk with you through a challenging time, therapy can help you find your way back to who you truly are. You don’t have to face this on your own—healing starts here.
The 'clinical stuff'--my therapeutic approach
My approach integrates a variety of evidence-based tailored to your needs. If you have a specific preference or modality that resonates with you, we can incorporate it into our work together.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A brief yet effective approach to resolving trauma and emotional pain using eye movements similar to EMDR.
- Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy EFIT: An evidence-based approach that helps individuals process and transform emotions as a pathway to healing, resilience, and deeper self-understanding. EFIT emphasizes awareness, acceptance, and expression of emotions to create meaningful change.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Attachment-Focused EMDR: Techniques to process and heal from past experiences while addressing attachment dynamics using bilateral stimulation and eye movements.
- Hakomi--Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology: A mindful and body-centered therapy for uncovering and transforming core beliefs through your felt sense using your somatic experience as a guide.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)--Level 1 Trained: A model for healing and integrating different parts of the self.
These approaches tend to be rooted in your experience and in your body versus only in your thoughts. All of these work together to create a holistic, compassionate, and personalized therapy experience—one that meets you where you are and supports where you want to go.
