Individual Therapy
Sometimes the ways we've learned to navigate life, protect ourselves, and care for others can leave us feeling disconnected from our own needs, emotions, or sense of self. We may find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, struggling through painful transitions, or wondering whether life and relationships could feel different.
Individual therapy offers space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My Approach
As an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist, I approach therapy through an attachment lens, with a deep appreciation for the ways our relationships and life experiences shape who we become.
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is the foundation of my work. Together, we explore the emotions, protective strategies, and relational patterns that may be contributing to distress or keeping you feeling stuck. Rather than simply trying to change or eliminate difficult feelings, we work toward understanding them, making room for new emotional experiences, and developing a more secure and compassionate relationship with yourself.
My work often focuses on healing attachment and trauma wounds, strengthening emotional resilience, cultivating a more authentic sense of self, and fostering greater security and fulfillment in relationships.
While EFIT guides my approach, I also integrate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Lifespan Integration (LI), and mindfulness-based practices when helpful.

Exploring What’s Possible
I often work with people who are thoughtful, empathetic, and accustomed to caring for others, but who may struggle to extend that same care toward themselves.
You may be longing to feel more like your true self, to experience greater closeness in your relationships, or to find a less painful way of moving through the world. Perhaps you have a sense that something needs to change, even if you aren't yet sure what that change might look like. You may also have tried therapy before and are wondering whether you could experience something different.
You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning. Wherever you find yourself, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you as we explore a path toward greater understanding, integration, and connection.
