Embodied and Holistic Psychotherapy
Hi! I'm Sally. Being a human is not easy. I imagine you're here because some aspect of your life is feeling really hard right now. And you've come to seek support. Already—you've taken an amazing first step.
I work with both adults and young people who are wanting to feel a greater sense of confidence in who they are and what they have to offer. Oftentimes, folks arrive feeling a little lost. You or somebody you love are struggling at work, in school, or in relationships. Maybe there's some deeper personal challenge as well, some sense that something more wants to happen, but you're unsure of how to get there. You don't need to know the exact reason you come to therapy. If you're noticing some inner draw toward support, that's often all you need to take to take the leap.
My approach is warm and gentle. I blend together dialogue, mindfulness, parts-work, relational inquiries and body-centered awareness to help people understand their inner world, discover new possibilities and deepen their sense of self.
Reasons you might be here and reasons I can help
You're experiencing grief, loss, or a major life transition
You're feeling stuck, emotionally low, and wanting to find your spark
You're in a pattern of numbing or addiction and want to find your way back to yourself
You struggle in relationships and aren't sure why
You feel disconnected from your body and longing for more presence and aliveness
You're highly sensitive and struggle to move freely through the world
You've had things happen to you that you haven't quite processed or don't fully understand
You feel grief and anxiety about the planet and are longing for a sense of meaning and purpose
You're curious about therapy and looking for a fun, low-key therapist (I'm great with first-timers!)
If any of this sounds like you, reach out and let's talk!
Areas of specialization
Attachment, developmental and complex trauma
This refers to various types of relational trauma and the patterns of relating that were shaped in our early childhood due to issues of misattunement, neglect, abuse, or violations. These issues might show up in adulthood through relationship and intimacy issues, including difficulty trusting others, feeling safe, or being fully present in close relationships.
Teens and young people
I love working with adolescents and young people and exploring the very intense challenges of growing up and finding ones way toward adulthood. These challenges might include questions around identity, belonging, transitions, relationships, and the very big questions about who you are and who you want to be within the world you are inheriting.
Life transitions and questions of purpose
This refers to the thresholds we cross—graduations, career changes, loss, aging, and new roles—and the deeper questions they raise about what's been lost, what matters most, and who we wish to become on the other side.
Ecological Grief and existential concerns
This refers to the grief, anxiety, and overwhelm that come from witnessing ecological loss and a world in transition. Here, we might explore the deeper questions about meaning, hope, and how to live well in a world that feels uncertain.
