You feel disconnected from your body, your relationships, or conversations. This can look like feeling detached from your emotions, struggling to identify what you need or feel, having difficulty staying present, or feeling stuck in your head. You find yourself replaying conversations, questioning your reactions, or worrying that you said or did the wrong thing. In relationships, you hold back your thoughts and feelings, avoid conflict or vulnerability, and find yourself shutting down or reacting in ways you don't fully understand. Trauma, loss, and relationship wounds can make it hard to trust yourself and stay connected to others.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, loss, and relational stress. In sessions, we slow down what feels too fast to notice and pay attention to emotions, the body, and what happens between people in real time. I use EMDR and IFIO to help you heal the parts of you that carry these experiences & Improve how you connect with others.

I am also LGBTQ+, sex positive & ENM affirming. If it’s hard to name what you’re going through in yourself, your relationships, or your family, you don’t need to have it all figured out before starting. If this resonates, contact me through Psychology Today’s email feature to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to connecting and hearing from you!
