You don't have to keep managing this alone.

Maybe this is your first time in therapy, or maybe you're ready to go deeper than you have before.

You might be struggling with anxiety that won't quiet down, carrying trauma from the past, navigating a major life change, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step.

Whatever brings you here, you deserve support that's tailored to you—your experiences, your goals, your pace.

I work with adults who are motivated and ready to invest in themselves.

Together, we'll work to help you understand what's happening, shift what's not working, and build the life you actually want.

AREAS OF FOCUS

I specialize in helping adults navigate:

Trauma & PTSD

Whether you're carrying the weight of a single event or a lifetime of difficult experiences, trauma therapy can help. Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, we work to process what happened so it no longer controls how you feel, think, or move through the world.

Anxiety

High-functioning anxiety often looks fine on the outside while feeling relentless on the inside. Therapy helps you understand what's driving the worry, quiet the nervous system, and build a life that feels less like you're constantly bracing for something to go wrong.

Depression

Depression can make everything feel heavy, flat, or out of reach. Together, we explore what's underneath and work to shift the patterns keeping you stuck, so you can reconnect with yourself and find meaning again.

Relationship Issues

Our earliest experiences shape how we show up in relationships. Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy helps you understand your relational world and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Betrayal & Infidelity

Betrayal can shatter your sense of safety and self. Whether you're processing the aftermath of infidelity, rebuilding trust, or trying to make sense of what happened, therapy offers a space to grieve, heal, and find your footing again.

Sexual Health & Intimacy

Sexual concerns are deeply personal and often go unaddressed. Whether you're navigating desire, arousal, pain, the impact of trauma on intimacy, or simply feeling disconnected from this part of yourself, therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to explore and heal.

Perinatal & Postpartum

Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring unexpected emotional challenges alongside the joy. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or a complicated transition into parenthood, you deserve support that truly understands this season of life.

Grief & Loss

Grief is not linear, and it does not follow a timeline. Whether you've lost a person, a relationship, an identity, or a version of your life you expected to have, therapy helps you move through loss in a way that honors what it meant to you.

Life Transitions

Major changes, even ones you chose, can leave you feeling unsteady and unsure of who you are on the other side. Therapy helps you navigate transition with more clarity, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of direction.

Self-Esteem

Struggling with self-worth often shows up quietly in how you talk to yourself, the choices you make, and the relationships you tolerate. Therapy helps you untangle where those beliefs came from and build a more grounded, compassionate relationship with yourself.

ALL ADULTS ARE WELCOME

All genders, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds, and identities are welcome in my practice.

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood.

If you're motivated, emotionally ready, and willing to do the work, I'm here to support you.

How I Work With You

I integrate research-informed therapies tailored to fit your unique needs. We'll talk together about which approaches make the most sense for you, and I'll adjust our work as we go. My most commonly used modalities include:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process and heal from trauma and distressing memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess traumatic experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive.

EMDR is particularly effective for:

PTSD and trauma
Anxiety and panic attacks
Disturbing memories, flashbacks, intrusive images
Phobias and fears
Grief and loss
Perinatal and Postpartum birthing preparation or birthing traumas
Sexual concerns

Many clients experience significant relief in fewer sessions than they expected. EMDR helps you heal without necessarily talking through every painful detail—your brain does the healing work naturally.

Internal Family Systems

IFS is a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that views your mind as made up of different "parts"—each with its own perspective, emotions, and role. IFS helps you understand these parts, heal inner conflict, and access your core Self, which is naturally calm, compassionate, and wise.

IFS can be helpful for:

Inner conflict and self-criticism
Trauma and complex trauma
Anxiety and depression
Shame and self-judgment
Understanding conflicting feelings or behaviors

Through IFS, you'll learn to relate to yourself with more curiosity and compassion, leading to deeper healing and self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more realistic ones—leading to lasting changes in how you feel and act.

CBT is effective for:

Anxiety and worry
Depression
Panic attacks
Phobias
Negative thinking patterns
Stress management

CBT is structured and skill-based, giving you tools you can use long after therapy ends.

General Systems Theory

General Systems Theory looks at you within the context of the systems you're part of— family, relationships, work, culture. This approach helps you understand how patterns and dynamics in these systems influence your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, roles, and how you can create healthier boundaries and interactions.

This approach is useful for:

Family dynamics and conflict
Understanding relational patterns
Setting healthy boundaries
Understanding family of origin

Systems work helps you see the bigger picture and make changes that ripple out into all areas of your life.

Humanistic / Client-Centered Therapy

Humanistic therapy emphasizes your innate capacity for growth, self-awareness, and healing. This approach is grounded in empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, values, and goals at your own pace.

Humanistic therapy supports:

Self-exploration and personal growth
Building self-esteem and self-compassion
Finding meaning and purpose
Authentic self-expression
Healing in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment

This approach honors your inherent wisdom and supports you in becoming more fully yourself.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and reshape the emotional patterns keeping you stuck. Rooted in attachment science, EFT goes beyond managing symptoms; it helps you explore why you respond the way you do, so you can build a more secure, compassionate relationship with yourself and those around you.

Whether you're carrying the weight of past trauma, navigating anxiety that won't quiet down, or struggling to feel at home in your own skin, EFT offers a gentle but powerful path to lasting change.

EFT is particularly effective for:

Difficulty with intimacy and emotional vulnerability

Patterns of avoidance, people-pleasing, or emotional shutdown
Attachment wounds
Perinatal and postpartum emotional struggles

Many clients notice meaningful shifts not only in how they feel, but in how they relate to themselves and others.
