Internal Family Systems
science-backed approaches i like to use

frequently asked questions
Why therapy?
Therapy is a scientifically backed method for improving mental health and overall well-being. Studies show that therapy can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by up to 50%, and 75% of people who engage in therapy see positive improvements in their lives. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues, or personal growth, therapy can provide the tools to navigate life with greater ease and confidence.
What does psychotherapy do?
Psychotherapy helps individuals process emotions, develop coping strategies, and change unhelpful thought patterns. It provides support, guidance, and evidence-based techniques to help you navigate challenges and improve your mental well-being.
Process emotions
How does psychotherapy work?
Psychotherapy works by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through conversations and therapeutic techniques, we uncover patterns, identify goals, and develop tools to manage stress, relationships, and personal growth.
What if psychotherapy doesn’t seem to work for me?
Every therapeutic journey is unique, and sometimes it takes time to see progress. Therapy is a collaborative process, and if something isn’t working, we can adjust our approach to better fit your needs. Finding the right therapist and approach is key, and I’m committed to ensuring you get the support that works best for you.
Overcoming obstacles
What if psychotherapy feels stuck?
It’s completely normal to feel like therapy isn’t progressing as quickly as you’d like. Growth isn’t always linear, and sometimes a sense of being "stuck" is part of the process. This can be a great opportunity to explore underlying patterns, shift approaches, or even try new techniques to reinvigorate your progress. Together, we can adjust the path to ensure you continue moving forward.
