I will variety of interventions to help you including parts work( IFS), EMDR, DBT, CBT, & other experiential approaches.
Do you wake up every morning and think "I can’t get out of bed”? It seems like too much right now! You peel yourself out of bed anyway, because you know you have to get going. You have to do all the “things” to make the world function for the humans in your life, but some days it feels like too much. You think this shouldn’t be this hard. I should know what to do and yet you still don’t make any change. You turn on the podcasts and the audiobooks, but no matter how many you listen to you just cannot get yourself to make lasting change. If you could just talk this out maybe you would not feel so stuck and so alone.

Waitlist for new clients
These include: grief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, internal family systems therapy, emotion-focused therapy as well as the Gottman Method, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
Do you feel like you’re your own worst enemy?
Maybe you procrastinate, overthink, or numb out—even when you know it keeps you from the relationships, opportunities, or peace of mind you want. Or maybe you push yourself to impossible standards, chasing perfection while quietly abandoning your own needs. On the outside you look capable and put-together, but inside you feel stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, self-abandonment, and perfectionism. You may wonder: Why can’t I just get it together? What happened to the version of me I thought I’d be by now?

My approach integrates relational and attachment-based therapy, Internal Family Systems ( IFS), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
When you’ve spent years caring for everyone else, it can feel almost impossible to turn that care inward. You might appear strong, but inside you feel disconnected — from yourself, your emotions, and sometimes even from the people you love most.
At Very Well Therapy, I help you slow down, release shame, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been working so hard to protect you. Together, we’ll create space for healing that feels safe, compassionate, and sustainable.
I believe healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, our emotions, and others. Many of us have learned to survive by disconnecting from our true self.

The decision to come to therapy can be hard, and finding a therapist can be daunting. If you're looking at my bio you're probably looking for a clinician who either knows trauma therapy or understands your religious background. Quick sketch bios don't do a great job at communicating warmth or empathy, but I want you to know that whether we work together or not your pain is real, and you're worth the effort it takes to feel better. If you'd like to know more about me, I enjoy comedy, reading, TTRPGs, and drawing. I love dogs and cats but I'm allergic so I keep plants. I also love being a therapist because I love seeing people heal.

Individuals constantly strive to fulfill basic psychological and emotional needs including self-worth, love and belonging, security, freedom, & others. When these needs are not adequately satisfied it may result in a loss of control and feelings of powerlessness. Life’s challenges can influence individuals to become “tunnel visioned” that hinders one to see options to fulfill needs. Furthermore, this can result in giving up control rather than increasing emotional stability, self-confidence, and attainment of goals. Having positive and sufficient options to meet needs increases hope, motivation, and a sense of purpose and meaning.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
