There's an authentic self in there. The real you! But life happens, loved ones fail to be who we needed them to be, and we adapt. We take on other versions of ourselves to protect us from pain. Maybe a part of you is an Overachiever who will never let you feel failure again or a People-pleaser who will never let you feel loneliness again. I help clients get to know these parts, heal them, and allow the authentic self to step forward.

At Modern Sessions, we specialize in helping teens, couples, & adults experience deep healing and long-lasting relief. That means going beyond just “talking” and helping you brain and body actually heal themselves using methods like EMDR, Brainspotting, and more.

You’ve probably tried to work through some of this before—maybe on your own, maybe by talking it out—but something still feels stuck. You’re ready for something deeper. A space where you don’t have to filter yourself, and where real, lasting change can begin. I work with individuals across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of difficult or complex experiences. Therapy can be a place to finally set some of that down.

Beginning therapy is a courageous and intentional decision, and I view it as privilege to walk alongside people as we explore the depth of the human experience – the pain, the uncertainty, the joy. My hope is to provide a warm and non-judgmental space where we can explore and uncover parts of your history, experiences, patterns, and how they impact you now. Together we we can approach the things that burden you with compassion and curiosity to connect to your values and move towards a more meaningful life.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and overwhelmed? Do you continue to repeat the same patterns of being in unhealthy relationships, engaging in harmful behaviors that are not serving you in a good way, and continuously trying to find a way to numb the pain? I am a process-oriented and trauma-informed therapist who meets clients where they are at. I draw from the psychodynamic approach focusing on bringing the unconscious to the conscious to get to the root of the issue and explore defense mechanisms that have been adapted along the way.
