Individual therapy

Individual therapy can be a place to bring the things that are hard to sort out on your own.

We’ll get curious together about the parts of your life that feel confusing, repetitive, painful, or hard to name. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem. You may know exactly what you want help with, or just that you feel stuck, disconnected, or ready for something to shift.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”. - Carl Rogers

Relational Somatic Healing Psychotherapy

The Relational Somatic Healing modality founded by Shirley Dvir, Phd pays attention to both the body and the relationship. It looks at how stress, protection, connection, and past experiences can live not only in our thoughts, but also in how we feel, react, and relate to other people. We may use grounding, movement, imagery, self-contact, or supportive touch when appropriate and agreed upon. The goal is not to make the body relax on command, but to better understand what it is doing and create more choice.

Co-Regulating Touch

Co-regulation is the way one person’s steady presence can help another person feel safer and more settled. In therapy, Co-regulating Touch was founded by Stephen Terrell and Kathy Kain. In my training with these teachers, I’ve learned to work with what happens through pacing, grounding, and having space to notice what is happening both psychologically and physiologically, without needing to hold everything together.

When appropriate and clearly consented to, supportive touch may also be part of that process.

Relationship therapy can give you a chance to slow down in a contained environment and to try something different together.

We might look at recurring conflict, attachment differences, disconnection, resentment, intimacy, or the ways each person protects themselves when things feel uncertain or tender. The goal isn’t to decide who is right, but to create more understanding, flexibility, and room for a different kind of interaction.

Ongoing groups

In my group therapy work, I focus on creating a supportive and relational space where members can explore their personal challenges while benefiting from the collective experiences of others. Group therapy offers an opportunity to connect with people who are navigating similar struggles, creating a sense of community and understanding that can be hard to find in everyday life.

This space is designed to be safe and confidential, where trust and openness can develop naturally. As members share their stories and listen to one another, they often gain new perspectives and insights that promote individual growth while deepening connections within the group. It’s a place where you can feel heard, validated, and supported, while also learning more about yourself through the reflections and experiences of those around you.

“When you’ve got no other choice, You know you can follow my voice, Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town” -Hedwig

Consultation, Mentorship & Coaching

In my consultation and mentorship work, I offer a supportive space for therapists looking for guidance, whether you're just starting in private practice or seeking a fresh perspective. It's a chance to reflect on challenging cases, explore feedback, and work on developing your own style as a therapist. We’ll focus on your goals and any areas where you'd like to grow, helping you feel more confident and grounded in your practice.

Mentorship is about creating a relationship where you feel seen and supported as you navigate the complexities of being a therapist. If you’re feeling unsure with certain clients, exploring your niche, or just need a space to process your own experiences, (hello! Imposter syndrome! ) I’m here to offer insight and support.

Therapy and coaching can look similar, but they serve different roles. Therapy focuses on emotional healing, mental health, trauma, and patterns rooted in the past and is a clinical relationship guided by ethical and legal standards. Coaching is future-focused and practical, supporting both clients and therapists with goal-setting, accountability, skill-building, and life transitions. I help with improving organization and time management related to mild ADHD challenges, clarifying career direction, building routines, or strengthening communication. Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, and the coach is not responsible for managing mental health symptoms, crises, or determining higher levels of care; clients who need therapeutic or psychiatric support are encouraged to seek therapy or other appropriate mental health services.
