You've tried to think your way out of patterns that won't budge — the anxiety, self-criticism, people-pleasing, and exhaustion of never feeling like enough. You may carry C-PTSD, attachment wounds, or religious trauma that shaped how you move through the world. You're often high-functioning on the outside and quietly overwhelmed on the inside. You might be coming on your own, or referred by your therapist for focused trauma reprocessing before returning to ongoing care. What brings you here is readiness — not necessarily to have it all figured out, but to finally stop managing and start understanding.
I specialize in IFS and EMDR for attachment trauma, C-PTSD, and relational wounds. I offer ongoing depth therapy and short-term trauma intensives — a focused series of sessions for targeted reprocessing. Therapist referrals welcomed; I'm glad to work alongside existing providers or return clients after intensive work.
Healing doesn't have to mean years of slowly circling what hurts. If you're ready to move toward what's underneath — with care, at your pace — I'd love to hear from you. Reach out for a consultation and let's see if we're a good fit.
