Doing it all but still feeling anxious or burned out? I’m Ava, an LCSW and trauma therapist at Shifting Tides Psychotherapy with immediate availability! I often work with high achievers/perfectionists (healthcare workers, caregivers) & those struggling with executive functioning navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, major life changes, loss and anticipatory grief, attachment/estrangement, medical trauma, and more. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic experiencing through the lens of trauma-informed care. I help people notice where stress, trauma, and
perfectionism show up in their bodies and minds. Pain isn’t a flaw, it’s a signal of survival. By addressing trauma physically and emotionally, we create space to move forward, make empowered choices, and build a life rooted in clarity, strength, and purpose. Grounded in a social justice perspective, my approach is collaborative & compassionate. I meet you
where you are, every time. Together, we’ll work to reconnect you with yourself, strengthen your relationships, and center your needs, helping you navigate life’s challenges with more ease and confidence. Therapy doesn’t have to be complicated- just real talk and steady progress toward your goals. Healing is possible. Reach out today & see if we vibe!

Clients come to me for a variety of reasons with a variety of goals. Therapy is never one-size-fits-all & each treatment plan is tailored to individual needs. Sessions will always include somatic work, practice/development of coping skills, & calming techniques. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, & collaborate to create a plan for addressing them together.
