Individual Therapy

I know that therapy can be hard work, requiring patience and commitment, and my approach is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I help people explore their own stories, navigate change, gain confidence, and maximize their potential.

Drawing especially from psychodynamic, somatic psychotherapy, and applied polyvagal theory, I provide individual therapy for a wide range of adolescents and adults. My approach integrates body-centered psychotherapy and nervous system regulation with relational neuroscience. For people who find it to be useful, I offer a unique expertise in the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy. I also incorporate ecotherapy, somatic touch therapy, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches in sessions as appropriate.

Specific areas of focus include:

depression
anxiety
loss, grief, and bereavement
difficulties with emotions, vulnerability, and intimacy
shame, perfectionism, and low self-worth
stresses unique to creative and/or high-pressure professions
spiritual growth and struggles, including negative spiritual/religious experiences
attachment and relational dynamics
gender and sexuality/LGBTQIA+/ENM
parenting challenges
family systems and dynamics
adoption and foster care
neurodivergence (ADH*, autism, FASD)
