WHERE HEALING AND WISDOM CONVERGE
Why should you start 1:1 sessions with me?
I believe the therapeutic space is sacred. It is a container in which courage, risk, honesty, and connection occur. Someone steps through the threshold in hopes that someone has the capacity to see them, and help shepard them through the incredible and vivid world of our inner lives. I hold this commitment with intentionality and respect.
I find time and time again that we are malnourished. We often are looking for a clear path forward, to know which decision to make, to be better in our relationships and with our families, but we wake up feeling like we’ve tried everything and nothing is working.
What if all we were ever looking for, was right under our nose the whole time. Those feelings we ignore because it would be too overwhelming to feel them right now. The behaviors we don’t want to give up because even though we know they aren’t helping, they feel too safe and familiar to let go of today.
The maturation process is not one single event, but an ongoing evolution and commitment to oneself. Unfortunately, many of us are not not guided through this process. However, there is a map that can help, and yeah…cliche coming…
It was inside all along.
How do I work?
I primarily work with Internal Family Systems, a modality I have been trained in and has transformed my life. I also offer Pre and Post-Psychedelic Integration Sessions.
I combine IFS and use insights and methods from the many years I’ve spent training in Gestalt Therapy, Jungian Shadow Work, Insight and Non-Dual Meditation, and various forms of somatic modalities. I currently am in weekly therapy, group therapy, 1-1 supervision, and have cultivated my own personal practice of self-exploration over many years.
Pricing?
My current rate is $185 for a 60 minute session.
I have found that offering a package of 5 sessions with an upfront discounted cost of $850 has worked for most of my clients. I believe committing to 5 sessions can relax certain parts that come up around financial obligations and provides an opportunity to take the healing process seriously.
Please note if you do not feel our relationship is working after two sessions, I offer a refund for the remaining sessions. I also offer a few sliding scale slots for those in financial hardship.
What is IFS and Why Should You Care?
IFS offers a unique way to heal your wounds and bring freedom and choice back into your life. Richard Schwartz, the founder, champions a unique psychological paradigm - we are not one distinct self, but rather many selves that make up the whole. These selves are called “Parts” and have their own unique personality, life experience, and emotions. These Parts make up our inner system.
In our 1-1 Sessions, you will begin to be able to untangle, or “unblend”, from your parts and communicate with them from a place of compassion, confidence, and courage. We will focus on being with your Parts, rather than being in your Parts. This creates space for you to work with the feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. To start to heal the trauma that lives in our bodies and in our Parts.
Who doesn’t want to be in leadership of their life, to not be tossed around in the sea of our minds or at the whim of an emotion that sets us off spiriling down the rabbit hole of anxiety and despair without the gentle hand of our inner Guide.
