I work with clients ready to recover and heal from the interpersonal trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues that keep them stuck. I especially enjoy working with clients with complex trauma histories that have created patterns of high functioning anxiety, codependency, and self-neglect. This might look like finding oneself choosing and struggling to leave unhealthy relationships, overcommitted and burnt-out, or trapped in cycles of family dysfunction. Many of my clients long for healthier boundaries, more authentic connection to self and others, less anxiety and shame, greater self-worth, and a more value-aligned life.
My approach to therapy is integrative, attachment focused, and trauma-informed. I offer individual, couples, and group therapy as well as EMDR services. I draw from Person-Centered Theory, Modern Analytic Theory, and Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. Because we are wounded in the context of relationship, the most effective healing takes place there, too.
Whether in my office or the group room, I hope to offer an environment of safety and belonging. I'm here to help you process your emotions, get unstuck from the patterns that no longer serve you, and connect more authentically with yourself and others. I'd love to help you access the life you long for - one that is healthier, fuller, and more authentic.
