Individual Therapy

Find Relief. Reconnect with Yourself.

You’re reading these words for a reason.
Something in you is ready for change, even if you’re not sure what that change looks like yet.

Perhaps anxiety, depression, or perfectionism have made everyday life feel heavier than it should. Perhaps food, substances, or self-criticism offer momentary control but leave you feeling disconnected. You’ve practiced self-care, tried to stay positive, pushed through with willpower, and still, the old patterns return.

It’s not your fault.
Willpower alone was never meant to be enough.

When distress lives in the body and nervous system, it can’t be solved through logic or willpower. Real change begins not with control, but with understanding, with learning to meet yourself, fully and without fear.

How I Work

In my work with individuals healing from anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, depression, and psychosis, I’ve seen transformation happen not through discipline, but through compassionate self-knowledge.

Therapy with me is both practical and exploratory. Some weeks we focus on immediate coping strategies—ways to steady your system, ground your body, and bring relief in the present moment. Other weeks, we’ll trace the deeper roots of distress: the protective patterns, histories, and internal conflicts that quietly shape your behavior.

My approach draws on several evidence-based modalities:

• Mindfulness & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – learning to observe your thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them, so you can live more flexibly and intentionally.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) – exploring the parts of you that protect, numb, or carry pain, and helping them work together again.
• DBT-informed skills – practical tools for regulating emotion and staying centered when life feels overwhelming.
• Brainspotting (Phase 1) – a focused mind–body process that helps release distress and trauma stored beyond words.

In plain English: I believe that healing happens when every part of you—mind, body, and story—is welcomed into awareness.

Together, we’ll translate insight into action so that progress feels lived, not theoretical. My goal is for therapy to feel less like being “treated” and more like building capacity for choice, connection, and change.

Issues I Work With

People seek therapy for all kinds of reasons. Here are some of the concerns I most often help with:

• Anxiety and overthinking
• Depression and low motivation
• Compulsive behaviors and addictions
• Eating disorders and body image distress
• Trauma and chronic stress
• Crises of identity, spirituality, or meaning

You don’t need to fit a diagnosis to begin. Whatever brings you here, our work will center on understanding—not fixing—your experience. When you begin to understand your patterns with compassion, they start to lose their power over you.

What to Expect

Therapy is not about performing your “best self.” It’s a space for honesty and curiosity.

You don’t need to minimize your pain here.
You don’t need to impress anyone.

Some sessions will bring relief. Others may stir discomfort you’ve spent years avoiding. Both are signs that something inside you is shifting.

Over time, therapy can help you notice patterns earlier, regulate emotion more effectively, and feel more connected to what gives your life meaning. You’ll learn to listen to your body’s cues, to feel emotions without collapsing under them, and to respond to life from a steadier, kinder place.

Change may start subtly—more ease in conversation, quieter self-criticism, moments of genuine calm—but those shifts accumulate. You begin to feel more connected, more capable, more you.

Considering Therapy

Many people enter therapy unsure of what to expect, or afraid they’ll be too “messed up,” or not “bad enough” to deserve help.

The truth is, therapy isn’t about the severity of need. It’s about curiosity: a willingness to know yourself more deeply and live more freely.

You don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through. Healing doesn’t erase your past; it reshapes your relationship to it. It helps you live with greater steadiness, connection, and peace.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
