You may look functional from the outside while carrying a lot underneath: trauma, shame, substance use, alcohol or marijuana dependency, perfectionism, self-abandonment, people-pleasing, anger, avoidance, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. Maybe the surface problem is obvious, but you know it is part of a bigger story. My work is for adults who are ready to understand the layers and get into the work in a real way.
My style is direct, relational, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems, harm reduction, psychodynamic therapy, and nervous system tools. We will look at what shaped the pattern, what it has been protecting you from, what it costs now, and what needs to change.
I am warm, honest, informal, and hard to shock. Bring the complicated version of the story. Start with what feels urgent, what keeps happening, or what you are tired of carrying, and we can see whether working together feels like the right fit.
