Individual Therapy for Adults

In my work with adults, I integrate several cutting-edge approaches informed by attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, trauma research, and affective neuroscience. These approaches guide our sessions as we work together toward deeper healing and emotional well-being.

The two main modalities I use are:

AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) – a therapy that is a) deeply relational, where the connection between you and I is central to the process of healing, and b) highly experiential, meaning we don’t just talk about emotions—we actively feel and process them in the moment.

IFS (Internal Family Systems) – an approach that helps us explore different ‘parts’ of yourself—parts that may hold pain, be in tension with other parts of yourself, or hold protective roles in your inner system. Together, we work to understand and heal these parts, allowing you to feel more whole, integrated, and at peace.

Additionally, my approach is somatic, which means we will pay close attention to the sensations and feelings in your body, as they are often key to unlocking emotional well-being and healing from trauma.

To learn more about these approaches, click on the circled words above to watch videos from Dr. Tori Olds, a therapist and teacher I’ve personally trained with. These videos will give you a deeper understanding of how these therapies can support your healing journey.

We may be a particularly good fit for therapy if…

  • You are 20+ years old

  • Perhaps you identify as a big/deep feeler, highly sensitive, introverted, or easily overwhelmed

  • You are open to or interested in exploring your family-of-origin and childhood experiences and dynamics and how they may connect with the here-and-now

  • You are looking for more depth-oriented work rather than strictly mental health tips/tools/advice

  • You are willing or curious to try an approach that is more exploratory, process-driven, creative, and experiential in nature, and less directive and cognitive

  • You are struggling with one or many of the following concerns:

  • the after-effects of being wounded from early experiences by someone you loved, trusted, or relied on

  • exposure to multiple or ongoing traumatic or distressing experiences/circumstances often in early life

  • when a child's emotional needs for attention, connection, validation, love, being seen and known, and the safe expression of feelings were not adequately nurtured or responded to

  • the lingering impact of unresolved events from childhood or adulthood, such as loss, accidents, assaults, or medical crises

  • excessive worry that can interfere with daily life

  • feeling emotionally detached/disconnected

  • difficulty managing and responding to intense emotions in a balanced way

  • patterns and dynamics in/from your family system growing up that may influence how you relate to self or others now

  • deep sadness and emotional pain from losing someone or something significant or facing situations/circumstances that won’t or can’t change
