I work with Veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing trauma, including acute, chronic, complex, and developmental trauma. Many come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they cannot seem to think their way out of—hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, anger, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a sense that part of them is still living in the past. Together, we work to understand what is driving these patterns, process unresolved experiences, and create meaningful change that extends beyond symptom management into everyday life.

To me, therapy is a process of reconnection. Re-connecting to yourself, your heart, and to others. This holds true for both individuals and couples. When space is held for all parts of you, or your partner, to express themselves and be heard, things that were stuck can begin to move. It’s simple, but it’s not easy- fear, shame, and anger can make it so hard to accept ourselves and our situations. Therapy is a way to undo long-held narratives and heal from past hurts, so that we can navigate the emotional waters inside us. It can be challenging, but you don’t have to do this alone.

I work with people who are carrying a lot—grief that comes in waves and knocks you down, anxiety that loops and spirals, stress that doesn’t seem to switch off, and emotions that feel too big. Perhaps you're struggling with trying to meet everyone else's needs while ignoring your own or you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stretched too thin, constantly on edge or just simply not like yourself lately. Together, we can slow things down and focus on strategies that will bring you back into balance again.

Our bodies hold deep wisdom, through which we were healing is not only possible, we are innately wired for it. When we've lived through trauma, chronic stress, or challenging relationships, the way we experience ourselves and others can leave us feeling that hope is out of reach. Growth is possible when we are able to feel deeply seen and heard.

At certain times in their lives, people experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. When their usual modes of coping no longer work for them, they feel overwhelmed and may want to learn new ways of coping through psychotherapy. Even though ways of responding based on past experiences may no longer be helpful, people tend to repeat old patterns of behaving, thinking and feeling. In psychotherapy I can assist you to understand these "habits", to see alternatives and to change.
