Individual Sessions for Mental Health Support

In therapy, it is important to focus on building a supportive and safe space to address challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach emphasizes a collaborative and flexible framework tailored to your individual needs,  for a more organic and meaningful exploration of your emotional and mental health.

​

Each session integrates a blend of evidence-based practices, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a mindfulness focus, and creative expression techniques. I am very holistic in my approach, I incorporate a mind-body-spirit worldview that is very open-minded and welcoming. This approach allows us to explore your inner world deeply and with compassion, uncovering the patterns and emotions that influence your thoughts and behaviors - along with aligning with your true self as a guide. 

​

Possible techniques for sessions:

• Exploring Tools and Concepts We can delve into tools and concepts grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mind-body connection practices. Together, we may explore how emotions are stored in the body, how the nervous system responds to different states, and how working with your inner parts can foster insight, healing, and growth.

• Processing and Reflection Sessions provide opportunities to reflect on what is coming up for you. This private space for introspection allows you to process your thoughts and emotions.  

• Creative approaches such as art therapy may be used to help you visually explore and express your emotions. Techniques like soul collage or symbolic drawing can support connection with different parts of yourself. These are optional tools to deepen your experience and insight.

• Guided Meditation can be introduced to support connection with your core Self, cultivate self-compassion, and promote inner balance. These meditations may also be sent to you for integration into your personal practice outside of sessions.

• Journaling and Self-Reflection may be suggested as a way to reflect on emotions, patterns, or insights uncovered during sessions. Prompts can guide your exploration and help reinforce self-awareness between our meetings.

​

Areas of Focus:

Our work together can address topics such as:

• Anxiety: Identifying and soothing triggers, calming the nervous system, and fostering a sense of safety and grounding.

• Depression: Cultivating joy and purpose, addressing emotional blocks, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

• Trauma: Gently exploring and processing past experiences while creating a sense of security within yourself.

• Self-Criticism and Perfectionism: Exploring the deeper emotional roots of critical patterns, addressing how past experiences or trauma may have contributed, and using therapeutic approaches to cultivate self-compassion and a sense of worthiness.

• Life Transitions: Addressing the emotional challenges and potential grief that can accompany significant life changes, managing anxiety during periods of uncertainty, and building resilience through therapeutic support and introspection.

​

A Space for Deep Exploration:

This work is best suited for individuals who are open-minded, flexible, and ready to engage in deep, introspective work. Together, we create a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a meaningful pace. Each session balances reflective exploration with actionable tools, helping you make steady progress while honoring your unique journey.

If you are seeking an approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy and embraces the mind-body connection, creativity, and deep emotional work, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to uncover your inner wisdom and create meaningful change.

Very Important Note:

​​All individual sessions are designed for individuals who are not in crisis and feel comfortable being able to learn new information weekly and can practice the techniques throughout the week.   To ensure a good fit, I’ll schedule a meet-and-greet with each participant before the class begins.
