You've probably tried to figure it out on your own. You're self-aware, you know your patterns, maybe you've even been in therapy before. And still something feels stuck. Maybe it shows up as anxiety that won't quit, relationships that repeat the same dynamics, or a sense that you're going through the motions but not really feeling like yourself. I work with people who are ready to go beyond just talking about it and actually feel the shift. I meet you where you are, at your own pace, and we go from there.
Using EMDR, somatic awareness, parts work, and relational therapy, we work with the whole of you, not just your symptoms. We pay attention to what your body is holding, the parts of you that developed to protect you, and what's underneath the patterns that keep showing up. Healing doesn't have to be a grind. It can feel like coming home to yourself.
I know what it's like to sit with something heavy and wonder if it's ever going to shift. You don't have to have it figured out before reaching out. If something here resonates, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.
