Introduction

Welcome to Fig Tree Services If you have spent your life "performing"—whether for your career, your family, or spiritual expectations—you likely know the profound exhaustion of living in "survival mode". At Fig Tree Services, I offer a sanctuary where you can finally let down your guard and move toward a way of living that feels restorative rather than depleting. My practice is designed as a low-demand environment that honors your nervous system, neurodivergent needs, and chronic health capacity. Here, therapy is not another "task" on your to-do list or a project to be "solved". Instead, we prioritize a "somatic-first" approach, using the body’s wisdom to build resilience and move beyond the exhausting cycles of over-thinking and reactivity. What to Expect in Our Partnership A Space to "Be," Not Just "Do": You are never expected to "perform" wellness or arrive with a perfectly prepared agenda. We start sessions by checking in with your body—not a rigid checklist—ensuring our work is always aligned with your energy today. Healing the Whole Self: I specialize in "Parts Work." Instead of trying to "fix" or "banish" difficult emotions like anxiety or shame, we meet them with curiosity. By understanding the protective roles these parts play, you can move from internal war to internal unity. Radical Autonomy: Trauma often strips us of our sense of control. This therapy returns that agency to you. From self-scheduling to determining the rhythm of our work, you are empowered to move at the "speed of safety," not an arbitrary clinical goal. Integrated Values & Faith: If desired, we use your spiritual identity or community values as a tangible resource for comfort and regulation. We transform abstract beliefs into a visceral sense of being "held," ensuring your faith supports your nervous system rather than taxing it with performance-based guilt. Why We Work Differently As a private-pay specialist, I forgo the standardized, high-volume models required by insurance. This allows for: True Customization: If your system needs a day of deep somatic stillness, we do that. Absolute Privacy: Your data stays between us; you are never reduced to a diagnosis code for a third-party payer. Sustainable Pacing: We build a rhythm that supports your life, helping you reclaim your energy for what truly matters to you. You don't have to carry the weight of your journey alone. I am here as a real person in the room with you, helping you trust your own internal compass as you move toward a life that is authentic, sustainable, and entirely your own.
