Begin Your Path to Growth, Healing, and Authenticity
At Authentic Beginnings Therapy, I work with clients who are ready to go beyond basic coping strategies and engage in deep, transformative work. My approach integrates the mind, body, and nervous system, helping you process complex emotions, release patterns held in your body, and reconnect with your authentic self.
I combine several evidence-informed and experiential methods to support lasting change:
- Somatic Techniques – Engaging the body to process stored emotions and cultivate genuine embodiment.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Exploring your inner parts, understanding their protective roles, and resolving internal conflicts.
- Psychodynamic Depth – Uncovering unconscious patterns, relational dynamics, and beliefs shaped by past experiences.
- Trauma-Informed Practices – Ensuring safety, attunement, and paced emotional processing within your nervous system's window of tolerance.
Through this collaborative work, you’ll strengthen your capacity for emotional regulation, deepen your connection to yourself and others, and move toward a more authentic and empowered way of living.
How I Can Help
I provide support for clients navigating:
- Marital & Premarital Relationships – Understanding relational patterns, improving communication, and fostering deeper connection.
- Anxiety, Depression, Burnout & Stress – Processing emotional and bodily patterns to restore balance, vitality, and resilience.
- Emotion Awareness & Regulation – Learning to identify and work with your body’s signals to manage emotions effectively.
- Trauma & Shame – Safely releasing held experiences, untangling historical shame, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals, helping you uncover your inner strengths, process emotions safely, and create meaningful, lasting change.
A Safe Space for Growth, Healing, and Connection
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, I provide a safe, highly attuned, and collaborative space where we do not just talk about your challenges—we actively work with how they live in your body and mind. Together, we will engage directly with the patterns held in your nervous system, helping you safely process complex emotions, release historical stress, and reconnect with your authentic self.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or the exhaustion of chronic stress, our work is an experiential, step-by-step process. We don't just focus on intellectual understanding; we focus on real-time shifts. We will uncover your innate strengths, explore the root functions of unconscious coping patterns, and build practical, somatic self-soothing tools that you can actually use in your day-to-day life.
This work is designed for clients who are ready to go beyond basic coping strategies and move toward profound self-understanding, physical embodiment, and lasting transformation. I am here to help you actively navigate your inner experience, reclaim your personal authority, and step into a more regulated, empowered, and authentic life.
Couples Therapy

Individual Therapy
Couples therapy with me is an active, structured, and experiential process. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we don't just talk about your arguments—we work directly with the underlying patterns that drive them. Integrating the research-backed Gottman Method with somatic and emotion-focused approaches, we will explore how each partner’s nervous system, emotional triggers, and historical patterns impact the relationship in real-time.
Together, we will map out your unique cycle of conflict and identify the unconscious threat responses that lead to disconnection. I will help you both slow down, track your bodily responses during moments of tension, and learn how to de-escalate reactivity before it takes over. Using practical Gottman frameworks, we will work actively in the room to replace harmful communication habits with constructive tools, safely express your deepest needs, and rebuild trust and intimacy.
My approach is highly collaborative, attuned, and practical. We will focus on building concrete, day-to-day practices that foster co-regulation, emotional connection, and mutual understanding.
Couples therapy is a collaborative commitment to growth. I am here to provide the steady, active structure you both need to break old cycles, heal relational wounds, and build a more authentic, connected, and resilient partnership.
