Unpack and Heal

I strive to foster a warm, compassionate and supportive space where you can unpack your thoughts and feelings.

Together, we will explore patterns in your life that may be holding you back from living your truest potential.

I strive to help you connect to yourself and reach your goals in the realm of personal-growth, relationships and/or work.

Who This Is For

I work with clients who feel anxious, are perfectionistic, struggle with overthinking, and/or understanding their emotional reactions. This often leads to being hard on themselves.

Many of my clients come to find that their emotional reactions stem from stressful experiences that are yet to be processed.

My Approach

Our symptoms are often survival mechanisms that helped us in the past, but they can lead to unwanted patterns today. I integrate the mind, emotions, and body to help you get to know your nervous system. By practicing tools to shift out of survival states and into connection, we address the root causes of stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does therapy work?

During our first session, we will talk about what you're struggling with and collaborate on your therapeutic goals. We will agree on a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. After that, each session may look different. Some sessions will focus on unpacking your thoughts and feelings, while others may focus on deeper emotional processing work. We will check in periodically on your goals and progress. You are welcome and encouraged to ask questions about the therapeutic process or provide feedback at any point during our work together.

How long and frequent are sessions?

I recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions to start in order to gain momentum and maintain continuity. Once goals are met, some clients switch to monthly sessions for maintenance or one-off sessions when needed.

How long will therapy take?

If you have very specific, short-term goals 6-12 sessions may suffice. Healing deeper rooted patterns and trauma may take months or years. However, even in the ladder case, many clients see progress and find relief before meeting larger goals.

Do you take insurance?

Most insurance companies cover my services. Check with your provider to see if they cover Psychotherapists.

What is cancellation policy?

The cancellation policy is 48 hours. The late cancellation fee is the full session fee.
