Individual Therapy

Are you ready to come home to yourself?

Remember the first time you fell in love?

The whole world seemed to shift in proportion. Colors appeared more vibrant and alive. Sounds… crisper. There was a slowing down and a speeding up… all at once.

“Troublesome things” that used to envelope you somehow seemed… lighter. More manageable. They somehow seemed insignificant when compared to this integrated feeling.

You were naturally more motivated and started taking better care of yourself – even without trying to.

There was a skip in your step… more possibility in life.

The process I use in individual therapy involves honing that “falling in love” energy toward the ONLY person who will ALWAYS be with you no matter what: the relationship with You and You.

You’re more than just a “talking head.”

And I’ll treat you as such.

Mind

We’ll build connections in the brain to give you insight and clarity into what drives you.

We’ll bring your rational mind back online so you can see your world from a proper perspective.

I’ll also offer you a conceptualization based on thousands of hours tracking personality changes in human motivation. If my conceptualization and your refinements feel like a “fit,” we’ll shift into the next domain of therapy…

Body

Trauma literally lives in the body: Your issues reside in your tissues.

We’ll develop a body-based plan to access deeply lodged emotions so that you aren’t just “talking about your pain” but actually releasing it from your body. Reclaiming sovereignty over the body and addressing any underlying body-image issues are also discussed in this domain.

Emotion

Emotions are your GPS; they’re compass points that orient you on your “map of life.”

Sometimes, we have to realign this “Emotional Guidance System” to allow the moment-to-moment emotional information flooding your system to be received, processed, and integrated.

This work involves a lot of re-educating, addressing blockages, creating processing systems, and developing coping strategies.

Spirit

Humans are not designed to be islands. We are a tribal people and are designed for community.

The spiritual domain connects us to what is larger than ourselves.

Expect open-mindedness and nonjudgment here. My goal is your healing; not to create more stress, polarization, or abuse.

I gave traditional talk therapy 18 years of my life.

I told my story until I was blue in the face, wrote encyclopedias to those who harmed me, and cried oceans of tears. I researched specialty after specialty, begging niche providers to work with me.

Yet I continued to have panic attacks, terrifying dissociative periods, and crushing dread to start each day. My life didn’t feel worth living most of the time.

I spent nearly two decades of my life in trial-and-error, wasting vast amounts of time and cycling in and out of the same old pain triggers.

I want you to heal… and quickly.

I am so keen on rapid transformation that I have made it my life’s work to develop an interdisciplinary, multifaceted approach that helps women ascend faster and more completely than has ever been possible.

Here’s what we’ll do…

Focus…

The weather…

Your mom’s renegade Christmas-present fiasco…

Your dog’s relentless feeding schedule…

These are examples of details that give color to life, but they do little to help you achieve fundamental healing shifts.

When we talk (and, please, just talk normally!), I have the skills to hone the conversation into patterns and lovingly cull away the extraneous so we can focus on what’s core to the therapeutic process.

As a result, you will find yourself naturally focusing. You’ll be amazed at the instant insights you’ll get just from this pruning and cultivation process.

Unlike many burnt-out, run-of-the-mill therapists, I am not interested in being your “paid supportive friend.” Rather, I’m here to facilitate an alchemic process of healing.

Depth…

Think dandelions… or any potentially undesirable plant growing in your garden. You can rip it up from the surface all day long, but the landscaping is all in vain if you don’t access the ROOT.

Know that I am a very dedicated and thorough gardener.

I see mental health through the lens of patterns and networks, much akin to a root system in the brain. And I’m after the root so that the pattern doesn’t perpetuate.

Holism…

I’ll let you in on a little secret: We are multidimensional beings. That’s why we’ll address eating patterns, sleeping patterns, routines, and rituals. We’ll talk about support networks and spiritual holes. We’ll cultivate your relationship with your body. We’ll refine your identity: values, morals, short- and long-term goals. We’ll discuss your emotional landscape and work on grounding, coping, and containment skills.

Our work provides you with a sturdy foundation so that you can build a house to your liking. And you can be sure that no other storm will ever rock your mind/body/emotion/spiritual being ever again.

I’m here for you… and I’m here for it all!

Consider this: If you are foraging through new territory, you might spend extra time learning the fauna and flora, checking out the edges of the property, turning in circles, etc., all without meaning to.

But when you’re deliberate about your exploration and create a map, everything changes. You can skillfully navigate where you want to go.

I believe we were designed to feel good, not wallow for decades, experiencing the same pain again and again.
