Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps identify and explore the different parts of yourself—those carrying fear, pain, or protective patterns. In therapy, we dialogue with these parts, understand their roles, and help them feel heard and supported. This process fosters self-compassion, reduces internal conflict, and allows you to make choices from a grounded, centered sense of self rather than reactive patterns.

Mindfulness-based

Mindfulness-based interventions help you cultivate awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and body without judgment. In therapy, mindfulness practices support noticing patterns, reducing reactivity, and developing a calmer, more present relationship with yourself. Over time, this fosters greater emotional regulation, self-compassion, and the ability to respond to life with clarity and balance.

Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

Somatic approaches help you tune into the body’s signals and release tension held from stress or trauma. In therapy, we explore physical sensations alongside thoughts and emotions to understand how your body stores experiences. This fosters self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and groundedness in daily life.

Existential

An existential focus in therapy explores meaning, values, and life’s inevitable challenges. Together, we examine what matters most to you, how you relate to freedom, responsibility, and uncertainty, and how to live more authentically. This approach fosters self-understanding, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose and connection in your life.

Anxiety

I treat anxiety through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and somatic practices. Anxiety is understood as a protective response rather than a flaw. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, calming the nervous system, and building a more trusting relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body.

Historical Trauma

I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults impacted by developmental, religious, and complex trauma. Many clients carry long-standing patterns of shame, fear, or self-doubt rooted in early or chronic relational harm. I approach these experiences with compassion and respect, helping clients understand their symptoms as adaptive responses and supporting the restoration of internal safety, self-trust, and self-compassion.

Depression

I support adults navigating depression with a holistic, trauma-informed approach. Using IFS, MBCT, somatic practices, and person-centered care, we explore the patterns shaping your emotional experience. Therapy helps restore connection to your needs and inner wisdom, foster self-compassion, and create space for hope, meaning, and renewed energy in daily life.
