Individual Therapy
We all have seasons of our lives that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our goal is to support you through challenging times in your life, moving towards creating lasting change that is tailored specifically for you and your needs.
Therapy looks different for everyone; for some, it is a lifelong journey, while for others, it may be accepting support in times of crisis or need. We are here to support your journey towards healing, on your terms.
Couples Therapy
Challenges in relationships occur in every stage of coupling. When working with people in romantic relationships, my hope is to help facilitate change in the way partners interact with one another, through establishing effective communication, healthy boundaries, and strong connection. Therapy can be valuable whether you’re newly married, dating, cohabiting, co-parenting, or moving towards separation or divorce. We address working with couples primarily through an Emotionally Focused, attachment-based therapeutic approach.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting provides individuals an opportunity to resources their healing from within. Often, those who have experienced either physical or emotional trauma may have difficulty accessing their experiences, which can create a barrier toward healing. The utilization of brainspotting has been shown to benefit those that have found challenges in processing and moving through painful parts of their lived experiences.

FAQ
+ How do I know if I need therapy?
The short answer is therapy is for EVERYONE! We can all benefit from mental health check ins and support. Having a solid relationship with a therapist ensures that we have a space to access when we really need it. Outside of that, therapy is for anyone that is looking to process and work towards healing. Sometimes that looks like working through stuff that is happening right now, and sometimes that means processing through things that have happened in our past, in our lineage or in our communities.
+ How long do I need to be in therapy?
There is no "one size fits all" approach to healing. The course of therapy is as long or short as you need and want it to be. We will check in periodically to see how you're feeling about our work together and the frequency of our sessions to ensure that you feel supported in a way that feels best to you.
+ What is your style of therapy?
Great question! I am an attachment based, somatically trained, trauma informed therapist. In basic terms, I look at how your past informs how you move through your life presently, addressing the physical (somatic) presentation of trauma, stress and other life factors.
+ Can we grab a coffee sometime?
I'm happy to share a cup of coffee or tea with you in my office, but it is a priority of mine to maintain the confidentaility of our relationship in order to ensure that our work is always a safe place for you to land. This also means that if we ever see each other in public, I will never acknowledge that I know you first, however, you are more than welcome to say hello (and I will absolutely respect and honor if you choose not to!).
+ How do you know if we're a good fit?
Finding the right therapist is a lot like dating -- you don't have to "marry" the first therapist you meet! I typically recommend meeting with 3-5 therapists for consultations (these are typically complimentary) to see who you connect with best. Therapy is a deeply vulnerable experience, and there is nothing more important than you feeling seen and heard in our work together.
