Creating an Integrated Self

Yes, I offer a free 20-minute consultation.
The first session is a conversation. I want to understand where you are right now, what brought you here, and what you are hoping to find. We are not jumping into the deep end right away. We are getting to know each other.
I will ask about your history, your story, the things that shaped how you got here. Not to check boxes, but because understanding where you came from tells me a lot about where we are starting from. By the end, we will have a clearer sense of what you need and how I can best support you.
Therapy is a personal experience, so there is no straightforward answer to this. It depends entirely on where you are, what you need, and what you want from the work. Some people come for a focused stretch of time working through a specific chapter. Others stay longer, going deeper over time.
What I will say is that we will check in as we go. You always have a say in the pace. This is your process.
I am currently taking new clients.

IFS stands for Internal Family Systems. The simplest way to explain it: you are made up of many parts, and each one has a job. The part that keeps pushing through. The one that overthinks everything. The one that checks out. The one that has been saying yes for years when it means no.
These parts are not problems to fix. They are trying to protect you. When we get curious about them instead of fighting them, you start to understand why you do what you do. That understanding is where things begin to shift.
It is that feeling of being stalled in your own life. You did what you were supposed to do. The grades, the degree, the job, the city. You got there. And somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like yours.
It is not a crisis. Nothing is falling apart. But something feels off in a way you cannot quite name. That in-between space is exactly where this work begins.It is that feeling of being stalled in your own life. You did what you were supposed to do. The grades, the degree, the job, the city.

The best way to find out is to talk. I work best with people who have a degree of stability and are ready to go inward. If you are managing active OCD, a severe psychiatric condition, or are in acute crisis, I will likely point you toward someone who specializes there.
If you are in that quieter stuck place and not sure whether this is for you, a 20-minute call is the easiest first step.
