Therapy & Career Coaching Services
I offer integrative support for individuals seeking both emotional healing and meaningful direction in their work and life. Sessions combine Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches to help you understand what’s keeping you stuck, build self-awareness, and create sustainable internal and external change.
Individual Therapy (Weekly Sessions)
In ongoing 60-minute sessions, we explore patterns, parts, and nervous system responses that may be limiting your growth. Using an IFS and body-based lens, we work to:
Identify and understand protective patterns
Process underlying emotions and experiences
Increase self-trust and clarity
Develop new, aligned ways of relating to yourself and others
This work supports deeper healing while creating space for more intentional choices in your life and career.
Career Coaching Series (4–6 Weeks)
This structured coaching experience is designed to help you gain clarity and direction around your career or next chapter.
Includes:
Weekly 60-minute one-on-one sessions
Two 20-minute phone check-ins between sessions for added support and integration
Guided exercises to explore your values, strengths, and interests
Practical tools to move from insight into action
Together, we’ll identify what’s been holding you back, clarify what matters most, and begin mapping aligned next steps.
Values & Careers : Designing a Life After Barriers
For Women, LGBTQ+, and Non-Binary Adults
Values and Careers is a trauma-informed, strengths-based course designed for women, LGBTQ+, and non-binary adults returning to the workforce after homelessness, incarceration, or SUD treatment. Delivered directly at community-based organizations through a contracted partnership model, the course meets participants where they are — reducing barriers to access and building on the trusted relationships organizations have already established with the people they serve.
Your Outcome
By the end of our work together, you’ll have a personalized Decision & Goals Map—a clear, values-based framework to guide your next steps with confidence and intention.
Ongoing Support
Change doesn’t stop when the series ends. Optional monthly 30-minute check-ins are available to help you:
Stay on track with your goals
Work through challenges as they arise
Adjust your plan as your needs and priorities evolve
Rates
$150 per 50-minute session. Sliding scale available.
Getting Started
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible for you—with support that honors both your inner experience and your real-world goals—I’d love to connect.
