Experiential. Depth-oriented. Non-pathologizing.
Something has brought you here — maybe a feeling you can't quite name, a pattern you keep finding yourself in, or a sense that insight alone hasn't been enough to create the change you're looking for. Whatever it is, you don't have to keep navigating it alone.
Individual therapy offers something that's genuinely rare: a relationship built entirely around your growth. Not advice, not analysis from a distance — but a consistent, attuned presence that helps you explore what's actually happening beneath the surface, and begin to shift it.
How I Work
My approach to individual therapy is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and attachment science. Rather than focusing on symptom reduction or behavioral change alone, we work directly with your internal experience — the parts of you that protect, manage, react, and hold pain — with curiosity and without judgment.
This is experiential work, not just conversational. What that means in practice: rather than primarily talking about your experience, we work with it directly — noticing what arises in your body, your emotions, and your inner landscape as it happens, in real time.
There's a reason talk alone often isn't enough: the parts of the brain that hold emotional memory and shape our responses to stress and relationship are older and faster than the thinking mind. The nervous system makes its appraisals first — and the story comes after. Experiential therapy works at that deeper level, not just the narrative layer. This kind of engaged, present-moment work tends to create change that lasts, rather than insight that fades.
For many people, therapy is the first place they've felt truly met — and that experience itself becomes part of the healing.
What We Might Work On
People come to individual therapy for many reasons. Some common themes include:
- Anxiety, worry, and chronic stress
- Depression and emotional flatness
- Attachment injuries and relational patterns
- Shame, self-criticism, and the inner critic
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions — personal or professional
- Trauma and its lasting effects
- Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unlike yourself
- Identity, meaning, and personal growth
- Body image and self-esteem
- Sexuality and relationship concerns
- Spiritual questions and existential concerns
This list is a starting point, not a boundary. If you're not sure whether what you're carrying fits neatly into a category, that's okay — most of what matters doesn't.
Who Tends to Do Well in This Work
My individual clients are often intelligent, self-aware people who have already done some reflection on their lives — and have hit a wall that thinking alone can't move. They're ready to go deeper, and open to an experiential process that engages more than just the mind.
I work with adults across a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I welcome LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse clients, and approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect.
Ready to Take a First Step?
If you're considering individual therapy, the first step is a brief prescreen conversation — a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see whether we might be a good fit.
