“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
- Abraham Maslow

Modalities:
Internal Family Systems Therapy
IFS theory holds that we are all made up of different parts that each have their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
The goal of IFS therapy is to foster awareness and collaboration among these parts, allowing you to achieve greater internal harmony and healing. This approach emphasizes self-compassion and understanding, helping you navigate your inner landscapes to resolve conflicts and promote personal growth.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy brings the sensations and knowledge of the body into our work together. Trauma can make our bodies an unbearable place to be and we can unconsciously disconnect from our experience. While our minds may disconnect, our nervous systems may be stuck in a place of hyperarousal (panic, fear, hypervigilance) and/or hypoarousal (disconnection, dissociation, numbness). This can cause one to be in a constant state of discomfort without really understanding why. Somatic therapy reintegrates the mind and body and allows us to regulate a dysregulated nervous system through awareness of and working with sensations to process what is there and build a sense of grounding and safety.
Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy
Existential humanistic therapy emphasizes the importance of individual experience, personal growth, and self-discovery while addressing the inherent challenges and uncertainties of existence. This therapeutic modality encourages you to explore your feelings, values, and beliefs to find meaning and purpose in your life. Ultimately, existential humanistic therapy aims to empower you to take responsibility for your choices and create a fulfilling life aligned with your true selves.
Group therapy
I offer a bi-monthly support group for survivors of trauma. Group therapy can be intimidating to some and many wonder if “my trauma is bad enough to count”. Group therapy offers a unique experience to be seen, held, and supported by peers who understand. Please reach out if you are curious to learn more or would like to know if you would be a good fit.

Psychedelic Prep & Integration
Psychedelic preparation and integration therapy helps you navigate the profound experiences that can arise from psychedelic journeys. In preparation, we work together to set intentions, build safety, and clarify goals for your experience. Afterward, integration sessions support you in making sense of the insights, emotions, and transformations that emerge, helping you incorporate them into your everyday life for lasting change and growth.
