Individual therapy is a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand what you’re carrying—especially when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or stuck. Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, weighed down by grief, anxiety, or old patterns that no longer serve them. Others arrive during moments of transition, loss, or questioning, wanting support as they make sense of who they are and where they’re headed.

In my work with individuals, I take an integrative approach that honors both the mind and the body. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients understand the different “parts” of themselves—such as inner critics, caretakers, or younger parts shaped by past experiences—with curiosity rather than judgment. This allows space for greater self-understanding, compassion, and choice.

I also incorporate somatic practices and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to support nervous system regulation and help clients feel more grounded and present. Stress, trauma, and grief often live in the body, even when we can’t fully explain them in words. By gently tuning into physical sensations and learning practical tools for stabilization, clients can build a greater sense of safety and resilience in everyday life.

Influenced by Buddhist psychology, our work may include cultivating awareness, self-compassion, and a kinder relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to get rid of painful experiences, we explore how to meet them with more steadiness and care. Through Narrative Therapy, we also look at the stories you’ve learned to tell about yourself—where they came from, how they’ve helped you survive, and how they might be reshaped to better reflect who you are now.

Throughout our work together, I move at a pace that feels respectful and supportive. Therapy is collaborative and flexible, shaped by your needs and values rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. We pay attention to how culture, family history, identity, and life experiences influence how you see yourself and relate to others.

Individual therapy is not about fixing you—it is about understanding yourself more deeply and creating space for new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Over time, therapy can support greater emotional clarity, increased self-trust, and a stronger sense of connection to yourself and the world around you.

Relationships can be deeply loving—and deeply challenging. Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in the same arguments, disconnected from one another, or unsure how to repair after hurt. Often, these struggles aren’t about a lack of love, but about unmet needs, old wounds, and patterns that developed over time.

In my work with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Imago Relationship Therapy. Both approaches are grounded in the belief that our closest relationships shape how safe, seen, and valued we feel—and that conflict is often a signal of longing for connection, rather than failure.

Using EFT, we focus on understanding the emotional patterns that keep couples stuck and helping partners feel more secure and responsive to one another. Through Imago, we slow conversations down so each partner can feel heard and understood, while learning how past experiences may be shaping present-day reactions. Together, these approaches support deeper empathy, clearer communication, and more meaningful repair.

I work with couples to identify unhelpful cycles, express needs more openly, and rebuild trust and closeness in ways that feel genuine and sustainable. Our sessions are collaborative and paced, with attention to both emotional safety and the nervous system—so that difficult conversations can happen with more care and less overwhelm.

I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and work with couples of all identities, relationship structures, and family constellations. I hold space for the ways culture, family history, gender, sexuality, and immigration experiences can shape how partners relate to one another.

Couples therapy is not about assigning blame or deciding who is “right.” It is about creating a space where both partners can feel supported, understood, and more connected—so the relationship itself becomes a source of safety and growth.
