Individual Therapy
Find Clarity, Embrace Growth, Live Fully.
More About Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, my goal is to foster a genuine, supportive relationship where you are safe, heard, supported, and emotionally connected. This sacred space allows you to deeply explore your psyche (soul) which includes your experiences, emotions, and personal stories that shape who you are and how you live.
We can work together to understand your relationships, connect with your true self, and experience more creativity, clarity, and compassion. I help you open doors to explore what is under the surface. What is keeping you stuck, lonely, addicted, or repeating the same painful patterns? What part of your past is hurting? How have your experiences and memories from your childhood shaped your current relationships? Together, we slow down enough to notice the stories your mind tells, the places your body tightens, what you feel, and the beliefs that quietly shape you.

Relationship Uncertainty
“I just don’t know how to feel happy in this relationship, I really want to be, but something feels off.”
Relationship uncertainty can make every day feel stressful and lonely. Feeling disconnected, unable to share how you feel, or stressed about the future of your relationship is extremely overwhelming. I often work with individuals who want to unpack their relationships (partnerships, engagements, or marriages) and get in touch the path forward that feels most right for them.

Depth Therapy
“I live with constant anxiety.”
When therapists describe their specializations, they often describe the types of challenges or “symptoms” clients they work with go through. The way that symptoms that something is wrong show up can look different for every person. For some people, symptoms might look like difficulty trusting other people, anxiety, depression, or emotionally shutting down. These symptoms often come from unknown or unconscious themes like “others are too fragile, and no one can handle my true self,” “men aren’t allowed to show emotions,” or “I am totally unworthy of love.” As you gain clarity and compassion for these deeper layers of your psyche (soul) in therapy, new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to the world—begin to emerge. You’ll find yourself having breakthrough thoughts, seeing yourself and your life in new ways, discovering parts of yourself you never knew existed.

Identity Exploration
“I don’t want to be judged for my past or what I want for my future.”
With a deep commitment to inclusivity, I specialize in providing compassionate and affirming support to LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating ethical non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. Understanding the unique complexities that can arise in these communities, I aim to create a space free of judgment where individuals can explore their identities, relationship dynamics, and communication needs. This might include:
Rediscovering (or discovering for the first time) who you arePersonal growth and self-empowerment
Guidance in connecting with your true self
Finding purpose, meaning, and creativity to deal with challenges in life

Grief and Suffering
“I feel completely alone, no one understand what I’m going through.”
As your therapist, my role is to offer a steady, compassionate space where you don’t have to carry these experiences alone. When you’re navigating betrayal, loss, or the daily realities of supporting a partner or child with an addiction, disability, chronic health condition, or serious mental illness, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally stretched thin. Together, we can gently untangle the emotions that arise (grief, anger, guilt, fear) and begin to make sense of what feels chaotic or heavy. I’ll help you identify your own needs, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside while you were trying to hold everything together.
I have a particular passion for working with deep thinkers and feelers as they navigate identity, purpose, and relationships. As a wife and momma to twin toddlers, I also have firsthand insight into the complexities and joys of parenthood and long-term partnership.
I specialize in helping individuals with:
Identity Exploration
Identity exploration in individual therapy is a bit like opening a very full closet—you’re never quite sure what you’ll find, but you know it’s time to sort through it. In a supportive space, you get to examine the parts of yourself that have been squished behind old expectations, mismatched roles, or hand-me-down beliefs that never really fit. Together, we can notice what still feels true, what you’ve outgrown, and what you might want to try on next.
Trauma, Betrayal, and Relational Hurt Recovery
Healing from trauma, betrayal, and relational hurt is a deeply personal journey, and individual therapy provides a steady, compassionate space to process what happened at your own pace. You might hold shock, grief, anger, or the lingering sense that your trust or safety has been shaken or completely taken from you. Therapy helps you understand how these experiences have impacted your sense of self and your relationships, while also guiding you toward healthy boundaries, self-compassion, and emotional regulation.
Needs and Fulfillment
Many people never received the safety to ask themselves, “How do I feel most loved?” or “What do I need from others?”. The burdens of silence, unmet needs, and heavy mental loads can lead to overwhelm, loneliness, and stress. In therapy, we can make make space for your needs and connect with how you can become more fulfilled in your life.
Attachment Focused Therapy
In a safe, supportive individual therapy environment, you can learn to understand your own attachment needs, emotions, and communication patterns more clearly, without the pressure of navigating someone else’s reactions in the moment. This helps you move beyond getting caught up in the surface details of conflicts and instead focus on the deeper feelings and triggers that drive your responses. Therapy creates space to lower defensiveness, clarify your internal experiences, and develop healthier ways of expressing yourself.
Empowerment and Healing
I use an intersectional liberation approach to honor how your identity and experiences are shaped by both personal history and societal systems including race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and class. I create a space where your responses to your circumstances are understood as valid and adaptive, not as flaws. Together, we explore how these forces impact your inner world and work toward reclaiming your voice, agency, and sense of safety. My goal is to support your healing, empowerment, and authenticity, helping you live more fully in a world that hasn’t always made space for you.
Parts Work
Parts work is a therapeutic approach that helps you recognize and understand the different “parts” of yourself—like the protective part, the wounded part, or the part that does everything in its power to avoid conflict. Instead of seeing these inner parts as problems, we explore them as understandable responses shaped by your experiences. I can guide you to give each part space to express its needs, fears, and intentions without judgment. This process helps you develop more compassion for yourself and reduces internal conflict.
