My Approach to Helping

Are you feeling weighed down by stress, emotions, or life’s challenges? Do you sometimes wish you had a space to understand yourself better or find a way forward? If you are navigating personal struggles, relationships, feeling the impact of the uncertainty of these times or just feeling stuck, having someone to talk to can make a real difference. Therapy can offer a supportive environment to explore your thoughts and feelings, without judgment.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is an important step in prioritizing your well-being and taking care of yourself. Therapy is a place where you can be yourself, explore what’s going on inside, and can support you to find a way to move forward at your own pace. It's not about having all the answers, but about giving yourself the space to heal, grow, and to cultivate curiosity and understanding. It can feel vulnerable to reach out and searching for therapists is an important step towards making space for yourself.

To help you get a sense of my therapeutic style, here is some information that might be helpful. My practice is dedicated to supporting women through the different stages of life. Our work together will be tailored to your unique needs. I am a Somatic Psychotherapist and I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is about understanding that all of us have different internal sides of us that have perspectives around what we need or want. For example, we may say "a part of me feels this way, while another part feels this other way". My approach is rooted in compassion, co-creating a safe space where we can explore these internalized parts with care. Additionally, I draw on tools such as mindfulness and awareness of the mind-body connection.

Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or have had therapy before, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are the right fit for your journey.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am skilled in helping women explore their inner worlds and their relationships. I have experience helping individuals reduce anxiety and their feelings of panic. I can help support you to strengthen your internal resources and coping mechanisms. I have experience supporting women identify and understand their wants and needs in relationships and help develop an understanding of how to strengthen their boundaries.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

Scheduling an introductory phone call allows you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss what your needs are and get a sense of my working style and what therapy might look like. It gives you the space to decide what the best fit for you is and your needs and if I am a good match for the work you would like to do. It also creates some space for you to discuss your concerns or hopes for therapy without any pressure to commit to working together. My sincere goal is to get you the kind of support that feels right for you.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Therapy has been found to be most beneficial and productive when incorporated into a client's lifestyle. Generally, sessions are scheduled once a week, especially in the beginning. Having sessions weekly allows you the opportunity to establish the necessary therapeutic relationship, provides consistency and allows you to have dedicated weekly support.

The duration of therapy depends on your particular needs and goals. As we work together, we will discuss your goals and treatment needs.
