Therapy 1-on-1

Individual Therapy (ages 12+) for men, women, all backgrounds welcome

Therapeutic Modalities

I use an integrative approach tailored to your individual needs. I'm certified in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (Segal & Williams), Compassionate Inquiry (Maté), Mindful Self-Compassion (Neff), Focusing Therapy - Level 4 (Gendlin) and have years of training and experience with Nonviolent Communication (Rosenberg) and Internal Family Systems (Schwartz). My approach is also very influenced by attachment theory and Emotion-Focused Therapy (Johnson). 

Develop Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

One of the main goals of our therapy together is to cultivate mindful self-compassion as you explore the waves of life and your internal experiences/sensations in reaction to those waves.

We'll come to understand your triggers, sorrows, discomforts, fears, anxieties, worries, threat response patterns, and how these are affecting your sense of self, attitudes, relationships, interactions with the world, and more. 

And you'll develop an empathic and curious lens to understand what you're going through, and to bring that empathic curious lens to yourself and others outside the therapy setting. 

Live a Liberated Life 

First, we can consider: are you really living intentionally and consciously? 

Is it in accordance with your values (and what are your values anyway?), or because it's what you "should" do or what you're "supposed" to do or what you see others around you doing?

Secondly, autopilot can refer to how we mindlessly react rather than mindfully respond to certain situations. 

Maybe you notice your reactivity to unpleasant things happening in your life. 

Or reactivity to certain people or interactions. 

And it can be difficult because life often has us running on autopilot, especially with the busy-ness of it all, reacting to situations without true awareness or intention. 

I want you to know, to really believe in yourself, that you have the power - that you can live with less reactivity and more intention. 

Our self-awareness is so incredibly liberating! 

To be aware of habitual reactions, and compassionately understand why those mechanisms are there to begin with (we have extremely intelligent and wise systems, so they likely supported us greatly or helped us survive somehow in the past). 

And then relearning/wiring how you want to be, and empowering you to make conscious decisions and respond to life how you really yearn to - with greater clarity, ease, kindness, warmth, self-connection, and supporting connection with yourself and others.

Foster Your Self-love

It is a gift to the world to do your inner work and develop self-love. 

Because we are all constantly interacting with one another,  affecting and updating one another in every single moment, every single interaction. 

So the more we are loving and grounded within ourselves, the more it contributes to those around us, and the world, being a more harmonious and peaceful place.

Be Loving and Compassionate with Others 

A beautiful byproduct of mindfulness and self-love is that once we develop it within ourselves, it radiates outwardly in how we think, what we say, how we view others, and interact with others. 

You can look forward to feeling less reactive and judgmental, and feeling more compassionate, loving, and understanding.

What You Can Expect in a Session with Me

As your therapist, my role is to hold a nurturing space where you can explore, heal, and grow. 

This space is yours—a warm sanctuary for self-discovery, understanding, and transformation. 

Here, your experiences are honored, your voice is valued, and your journey is met with empathy and respect.

Our therapy space together is a co-creation. You are the expert on yourself, and I am the empathetic witness and guide for your journey.  

Thank you for considering me as your partner in self-discovery and healing. 

It's an honor to walk alongside you as you embark on this beautiful voyage of becoming more liberated, resilient and loving.
