Our Services
At Roots of Healing, we offer therapy services designed to help you navigate life’s challenges and uncover your inner strengths. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking clarity, our approach is tailored to your unique journey and needs.
Anxiety
Do you feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts, constantly second-guessing yourself, or stuck in a cycle of perfectionism? While others may see you as a “go-getter,” inside, you might be battling relentless self-criticism and anxiety that robs you of peace.
Imagine being at ease, confidently managing your anxiety, and living a life that brings you fulfillment. In therapy, we’ll work together to uncover the root causes of your anxiety, understand your personal triggers, and develop practical tools to cope. Using grounding exercises, mindfulness practices, parts work, and strategies for building self-compassion, we’ll address the deeper parts of you fueling these feelings.
You deserve a life that feels balanced and rewarding—and I’m here to help you find it.
Depression
Do you find it hard to get out of bed, feel like you’re just going through the motions, or pretend to be happy on the outside while struggling with feelings of worthlessness? Perhaps you’ve lost interest in things that once brought you joy and feel disconnected from the life you knew. It might feel like you’re stuck in a fog, wondering, “Is this how life is supposed to feel?”
You’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. In therapy, we’ll explore the roots of these feelings, identify what’s holding you back, and work on reconnecting with yourself. Together, we’ll rebuild your sense of self-worth, rediscover joy, and create purpose in your life.
With the right support and tools, it’s possible to find balance, regain energy, and embrace a meaningful life once again.
Trauma
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the mind and body, often disrupting daily life, relationships, and well-being. Whether you’ve experienced a single event or ongoing trauma, it’s common to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. You may not even realize the full impact of your experiences or find it difficult to articulate what you’ve been through.
Healing from trauma is possible. In therapy, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and process your pain at a pace that feels right for you. My trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety, empowerment, and healing.
Using techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring, we’ll work together to reduce the power of past trauma and help you reconnect with your body and emotions in healthy ways. You don’t have to face this journey alone.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a therapeutic approach that is becoming more popularity known and sought out for therapy. This approach helps people understand and heal their inner world by getting to know the different “parts” of themselves.
In IFS, we believe that:
All parts are welcome. Even the ones that feel "bad" or "too much" are actually trying to help you in some way.
You are not your parts. There is a calm, wise core within you, called the Self, that can lead with compassion and clarity.
Healing happens when we listen to parts with curiosity rather than judgment.
Instead of trying to silence or fight your anxiety, anger, or self-doubt, IFS helps you gently turn toward those parts and understand why they’re showing up.
We all have different parts within us, like the part that pushes you to overthink, trying to protect you from embarrassment, failure, or shame.
There might be a part that feels angry because people are constantly taking advantage of you.
A numbing part might step in to help you zone out, scroll endlessly, or disconnect when things feel too overwhelming.
And then, there's the part that is your true self — the calm, curious, compassionate, and clear core of who you are.
Why I often use IFS in therapy
IFS allows us to work gently and deeply , without forcing you to relive past trauma or rush into change. Together, we create a safe space to:
Listen to your inner experience with curiosity
Build compassion toward yourself
Help your parts feel less burdened, less stuck
Reconnect with the calm, confident Self that’s always been there

What is Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the deep, often unconscious ways our early relationships shape how we connect with ourselves and others in our day-to-day lives.
In early life, we form attachment patterns based on how safe, loved, and supported we felt with our caregivers (i.e. parents). These patterns don’t disappear and they influence how we handle conflict, trust (or distrust) others, cope with rejection and criticism, express our needs and emotions, and set or avoid boundaries.
The goal with attachment therapy is to help gently explore those patterns, focus on understanding how it still impacts your present, rather than to focus on blaming your past.
When early relationships were marked by inconsistency, neglect, enmeshment, or rejection, you may have developed protective strategies like:
People-pleasing or over-functioning
Emotional withdrawal or shutting down
Fear of abandonment or intense need for reassurance
Difficulty trusting or depending on others
Feeling "too much" or "not enough"
Attachment therapy helps you:
Recognize these patterns with compassion, not judgment
Understand the unmet needs behind your reactions
Build healthier, more secure ways of relating
Strengthen your relationship with yourself and others
What It Might Feel Like in Our Work Together
You might find yourself saying things like:
“I always feel like I’m too much for people.”
“I shut down when people get close.”
“I keep choosing partners who aren’t emotionally available.”
“I crave connection but don’t trust anyone to really be there.”
Attachment-based therapy offers a space to be seen, not judged, as we gently explore those patterns and help you create new ones, being grounded in safety, trust, and connection.
