You deserve more than
just getting through it.
Weekly individual therapy for adults ready to understand what’s underneath, not just manage the day-to-day grind.
Something brought you here. Let's actually figure out what.
Maybe it's the anxiety that shows up uninvited and refuses to leave. The low-grade depression that makes everything feel muted. A relationship pattern you keep repeating no matter how hard you try. Or just a persistent sense that you're not living as fully as you could be — and you're not sure why.
Individual therapy at Verdant isn't about analyzing your childhood forever or collecting coping strategies you'll never actually use. It's about going to the root. We will allow space for understanding the beliefs, the nervous system patterns, the parts of you that formed for a reason, and create shifts that actually last.
You already have a lot of insight. Now let's help your whole system catch up.
Individual therapy with me tends to resonate most with people who recognize themselves in one of these:
-
You've read the books, maybe tried therapy before, and you understand your patterns intellectually. But something still isn't shifting — and you're tired of insight without transformation.
You’re smart, you’re logical, and it’s infuriating that all the work you’ve put in doesn’t seem to help.
I get it, and if you’re willing - let’s try a new way.
-
You're getting through the days, but just barely. The weight of what you're carrying — anxiety, grief, old wounds, or just relentless stress — deserves more than symptom management.
I don’t believe that coping strategies are the end all be all of mental wellness. We will explore how to handle those moments with curiosity and moving towards the harder feelings in sessions so they don’t take over so much in daily life.
-
Career shifts, relationship changes, loss, new chapters, etc. Life transitions often surface old patterns. This is a good time to understand what's being stirred up, not just survive it.
You may find that you’ve been doing well with your mental health for years. New environments, relationships, responsibilities all open up parts of us that either haven’t needed to be up for a while, or this is their first time even getting the chance. It can be really confusing when it feels like you are a totally different person.
This is a chance to meet yourself more fully.
-
You hold everything together on the outside. But inside, something's off. You've mastered appearing fine — and you're ready to actually feel it.
Whatever your doing right now it technically “works”, but it doesn’t align with who you want to be. You don’t want to be scrolling mindlessly as soon as you get a moment to yourself. You don’t want to snap at the kids or your partner when you get home.
Your body is still feeling whether or not it’s telling your brain. Let’s work to release it at the felt level.
“You don’t need more coping strategies. You need to go to the root. That’s what we do.”
What the work will look like
We start with your whole picture
1
Your history, your patterns, what's working and what isn't. Not to pathologize any of it — but to understand the system you're operating in. You are not broken. You are a person who developed strategies that made sense at the time.
We bring neuroscience into the room
2
Understanding why your brain does what it does isn't just interesting, it's part of healing. When you understand your nervous system responses, your "irrational" reactions start making a lot more sense. And that understanding changes things.
Side note: my nerdy part loves talking about all this stuff, so if you see me more animated at this time…that’s why.
We get curious about your parts
3
Using an Internal Family Systems lens, we explore the different parts of you — the inner critic, the protector, the one that shuts down, the one that keeps pushing. Understanding what they're protecting you from is usually where things start to shift.
We process what’s stuck

For experiences that live in the body as much as the mind, EMDR helps your brain finish processing what it got interrupted on. Not talking about it endlessly — actually completing the cycle and letting your system update.
We get creative
5
Throughout the entire process I am watching what is working for you and what is not. We have multiple tools at our disposal to go about therapy in a different way. You are always a part of this conversation and I aim to build an atmosphere where you feel safe to start that conversation as well.
Other ways we can process are through: brainspotting, sandtray therapy, externalizing activities, workbooks, group therapy, intensives and beyond.
You leave with more than insights
6
The goal isn't for you to need therapy forever. It's to give you a framework, a relationship with yourself, and tools that outlast our sessions — so you can meet whatever comes next from a different place.

15-20 minutes to talk about what’s going on and whether we’re a good fit. No pressure, no commitment. I often call it a “vibe check”. This is your time to ask questions and get a feel for me and the work.
Insurance And Sliding Scale
I am in network with BCBS PPO Options, BCBS Value, BCBS CMMN, and BCBS HMO Blue Care.
I will run your benefits prior to our first session so you know what’s covered and what’s your responsibility.
I am an out of network provider for all other insurances, but I can provide a superbill for you to submit to insurance for possible reimbursement.
I also offer sliding scale for 20% of my caseload to provide equity in access to care. This option is not available alongside insurance.
