Holly offers integrative, compassionate therapy for individuals seeking greater self-understanding, healing, and a more peaceful relationship with themselves.
Therapy to Me Is…
A space for self-compassion, curiosity, and intentionality—a place where you can nurture and expand your relationship with yourself.
Whether you are dealing with recent challenges or longstanding patterns, this space is here for you.
It is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to uncover the insights and strengths you already possess.
By slowing down and attending to your inner world, we create the opportunity for meaningful change and authentic peaceful living.
Areas of Focus
Select an area below to learn more about how Thomas Integrative Psychotherapy supports clients experiencing these concerns.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, substance use, anxiety, and depression. My practice provides a dedicated space for exploring the root causes of your distress and sending them compassion.
Because every individual brings a unique set of life experiences that shape their emotional landscape and responses, I tailor our work to your specific needs, recognizing that the path to healing is deeply personal. Your thoughts and feelings are valid and understandable given your experience in the world. We will work together to honor your experience as we navigate your healing journey.
My Approach
Much of our sessions will consist of talking one-on-one. We may also utilize tools such as art, guided meditation, visualization, sand tray, prompted writing, or breathwork.
I will guide you in observing and verbalizing your emotions, thought patterns, and physical sensations. We will explore your relationships with others as well as your relationship with yourself.
Internal Family Systems
As an IFS Certified Therapist, I frequently integrate the Internal Family Systems model into sessions. I have found IFS to be a powerful tool both professionally and personally.
IFS shows us that all “symptoms” make sense given your experience and provides a compassionate path to deep and lasting inner healing.
