My Approach to Therapy

You may have already done therapy, gained a great deal of insight, and worked hard on yourself, yet still find that certain patterns, emotions, or ways of relating do not seem to change. You might understand why you feel the way you do without knowing what will actually help things shift. I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who want to understand themselves deeply while also creating meaningful change. I take a whole-person approach to therapy, which means we may consider your emotions, nervous system, relationships, past experiences, physical health, lifestyle, values, spirituality, and sense of meaning or direction. I am interested in understanding how the different parts of your life interact rather than assuming that every difficulty has the same source or requires the same kind of intervention. My approach is integrative, experiential, and collaborative. Sometimes our work involves slowing down and exploring what is happening beneath the surface. Sometimes we work directly with longstanding patterns, trauma, beliefs, or emotional responses. At other times, the most useful focus may be developing new capacities or making concrete changes in your life. My work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), depth and experiential therapies, somatic psychology, nervous-system and trauma approaches, functional and nutritional mental health, spirituality, psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration, and neurofeedback. We work together to determine what is relevant for you. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious, open-minded, and willing to engage actively in their own growth. Many of my clients are therapists, helpers, seekers, or people whose experiences have never fit neatly into one therapeutic box. If you are looking for therapy with depth, curiosity, and a whole-person perspective, you can visit my website to learn more about my work and request a consultation.

Groups I Work With

I often work with clients experiencing longstanding emotional or relational patterns that have persisted despite insight or previous therapy. Areas of particular interest include anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma and unresolved past experiences, identity and life transitions, relationship patterns, perfectionism and overfunctioning, difficulty trusting oneself, loss of meaning or direction, and questions related to spirituality or personal growth. I am also particularly interested in working with people who feel that something is “off” but have difficulty reducing their experience to a single diagnosis or symptom. In these cases, we can look broadly at psychological, relational, physiological, lifestyle, and existential factors that may be contributing.
