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
Therapy is a place to slow down and notice what’s happening beneath the surface. With steady support, your system can begin to relax, make sense of old patterns, and open up to new ways of being with yourself and your life.
Heal and Grow
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.
Challenges I Help
People often seek therapy for a variety of reasons; some include challenges with:
- Anxiety
- Boundary setting/people pleasing
- Depression
- Difficult childhood experiences
- Disconnection from Self or purpose
- Grief and loss
- Guilt and shame
- Life transitions or feeling lost
- Overwhelm
- Parenting and new motherhood
- Procrastination and/or avoidance
- Relationship issues including feeling stuck
- Self-esteem/empowerment
- Shutting down or feeling numb
- Trauma treatment or PTSD
- Women’s perimenopause transition empowerment
- Work/life balance
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're just carrying more than you were built to carry alone.

Therapy Modalities and Approaches
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.
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.
- 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.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)--Level 2 Trained: A model for healing and integrating different aspects of you or "parts" of yourself with compassion and connection.
- Hakomi--Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology: A mindfulness based body-centered therapy for uncovering and transforming core beliefs through your felt sense using your somatic experience as a guide.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A brief yet effective approach evidenced based approach to resolving trauma and emotional pain using eye movements to clear and process memories. ART works directly with the images and sensations connected to painful memories, without requiring you to talk through what happened in detail. People often leave a session feeling noticeably lighter. Transformation with ART tends to be faster and gentler than most people expect.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
[EMDR and Attachment Focused EMDR]: A research-supported approach that uses bilateral stimulation to help process and integrate difficult experiences.
