THERAPY SERVICES

My approach to therapy is integrative, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens through a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship and through reconnecting with the wisdom of the body. We move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable, honoring your nervous system and what feels possible in each session. Rather than relying on a single method, I draw from several complementary modalities to support whole-person healing.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

  • INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

    Individual therapy is a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand what you’re carrying—especially when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to navigate on your own. You may be feeling anxious, disconnected from yourself, caught in patterns that no longer serve you, or moving through a period of transition, loss, or uncertainty. Therapy offers a place to make sense of your experience while developing a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.

    Together, we explore the patterns that shape how you think, feel, relate, and respond to stress. This may include noticing the ways anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or emotional disconnection show up in your life and relationships. Rather than treating these patterns as something wrong with you, we approach them with curiosity and compassion.

    IFS-informed parts work may help you understand the different parts of yourself that strive, criticize, caretake, please, withdraw, or protect. Somatic practices bring attention to how emotions and stress show up in your body, while mindfulness can support greater awareness of thoughts, feelings, and sensations without automatically reacting to them. Relational and attachment-focused approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), can help you understand your emotional needs and the patterns that shape your relationships.

    Our work is collaborative and flexible, shaped by your needs, values, and goals. I also pay attention to the ways culture, family history, identity, and relationships influence your experience and your understanding of yourself.

    Individual therapy is not about fixing you. It is about creating space to understand yourself more deeply, relate to yourself with greater compassion, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Over time, therapy can support greater emotional clarity, self-trust, flexibility, and connection to yourself and the people around you.

  • COUPLES THERAPY

    Relationships can be deeply loving—and deeply challenging. Couples may come to therapy feeling stuck in recurring arguments, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to repair after hurt. Often, these struggles are less about a lack of love or effort and more about patterns of protection, unmet needs, and ways of responding that have developed over time.

    In couples therapy, we slow down the patterns that keep you stuck and explore what is happening underneath conflict. A disagreement about communication, intimacy, household responsibilities, or feeling understood may carry deeper longings for connection, reassurance, safety, or recognition.

    My approach to couples therapy is relational and attachment-based, with attention to both the emotional patterns between partners and the experiences each person brings into the relationship. My work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps couples recognize negative interaction cycles and better understand the emotions, needs, and attachment longings underneath them.

    Together, we work toward expressing needs more openly, listening with greater curiosity, navigating conflict with more awareness, and creating space for repair after moments of disconnection. We look not only at what happens between you when things go wrong, but also at what each partner may need to feel more connected, respected, and secure in the relationship.

    Sessions are collaborative and paced, with attention to emotional safety and to the patterns that each partner contributes to the relationship. The goal is not to assign blame, but to develop greater awareness, accountability, and choice in how you respond to one another.

    I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome couples of all orientations, identities, and relationship structures. I also recognize that culture, family history, gender, sexuality, immigration experiences, and other aspects of identity can shape how partners understand intimacy, communication, conflict, and commitment.

    Couples therapy is not about eliminating conflict. It is about developing a greater capacity to understand one another, take responsibility for your impact, repair after disconnection, and build the kind of relationship you want to create together.

Therapy Modalities

  • Relational Therapy

    Relational therapy explores how early relationships shape the ways we experience closeness, trust, boundaries, conflict, and connection. These patterns can continue into adulthood, showing up as people-pleasing, withdrawal, fear of abandonment, or difficulty expressing your needs.

    The relationship we build in therapy becomes part of the healing process. By exploring these patterns with curiosity and care, we create opportunities for new experiences of safety, authenticity, and repair—supporting greater self-understanding, self-trust, and more secure relationships.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

    Emotionally Focused Therapy is an attachment-based approach that helps us understand the emotions and relational patterns underlying distress, disconnection, and conflict. Whether working individually or with a partner, EFT supports greater awareness of emotional needs and more secure ways of relating.

    With couples, we focus on the cycles that keep partners stuck and create opportunities for greater responsiveness, vulnerability, and connection. In individual therapy, EFT can help you understand your attachment patterns, emotional needs, and ways of responding in relationships. Over time, this work can support greater self-understanding, emotional security, and more fulfilling relationships.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process experiences that continue to feel emotionally or physically activating. Past experiences can remain present in the form of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, or distressing body sensations—even when we understand them intellectually.

    EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to support the processing of distressing memories and experiences. Rather than requiring you to relive the past in detail, we work at a pace that feels manageable and supportive. Over time, EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity of difficult experiences and create space for new perspectives, beliefs, and ways of responding in the present.

  • Somatic Therapy

    Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that brings attention to how anxiety, stress, and difficult experiences show up in the body. Even when we have insight into what we’re experiencing, our bodies can continue to respond with tension, overwhelm, shutdown, or heightened alertness.

    In our work together, we gently notice bodily sensations, breath, movement, and nervous system responses in the present moment. By slowing down and approaching these experiences with curiosity and compassion, somatic therapy can support greater grounding, awareness, and flexibility in how you respond to stress.

  • IFS / Parts Work Therapy

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work offer a compassionate framework for understanding the different parts of yourself that have developed in response to your experiences. These may include inner critics, anxious protectors, caretaking parts, or younger parts carrying difficult emotions.

    Rather than trying to eliminate or silence these parts, we approach them with curiosity and care. This can create greater self-understanding, reduce internal conflict, and help you relate to yourself with more compassion, clarity, and choice.

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy

    Mindfulness brings a present-moment, nonjudgmental awareness to therapy. Together, we notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns as they arise, creating space to relate to your inner experience with greater compassion and flexibility.

    Over time, this practice can support emotional regulation, self-acceptance, and a greater ability to respond to life with intention rather than reactivity—creating more space for clarity and ease.
