What It’s Like to Work Together

Therapy is more than support in difficult moments.
It is a process of understanding, regulation, and meaningful change.

My practice is designed for adults seeking thoughtful, depth-oriented work grounded in trauma-informed care and nervous system awareness.

Clients often describe this work as calm, direct, and deeply supportive.

I value clear boundaries, collaboration, and sustainable growth over rapid solutions.

This practice is best suited for individuals ready to engage with curiosity, honesty, and intention.

I believe in shared responsibility within the therapeutic relationship.
We move at a pace that respects both growth and safety.

This is not quick-fix work.

It is meaningful, intentional work.

  • Individual therapy offers a steady, collaborative space to explore patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape how you move through the world.

    I work with adults navigating:

    • complex or developmental trauma

    • chronic stress and burnout

    • anxiety and emotional overwhelm

    • identity and relational challenges

    • major life transitions

    Our work focuses on building internal safety, strengthening self-trust, and creating change that feels sustainable, not forced.

    Sessions are relational, grounded, and paced with care.

    Available in person and via secure telehealth.

    • Communication breakdown

    • Attachment injuries

    • Trust repair

Evidence-Based Practices

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy

    CPT is a supportive approach that helps you understand how trauma has affected the way you see yourself, others, and the world. Sometimes after trauma, we carry painful beliefs - like thinking we’re to blame, that we’re unsafe, or that we’re broken.

    In CPT, we work together to gently explore those thoughts, and begin shifting them in ways that feel more accurate, kind, and empowering. This isn’t about reliving the trauma - it’s about helping you make sense of it, so you can begin to feel more like yourself again.

  • Mindfulness

    Mindfulness is the practice of learning to gently notice what’s happening inside of you - your thoughts, feelings, and body - without judgment. When you've experienced trauma, being present can feel overwhelming or unsafe. That’s why we approach mindfulness with care, compassion, and flexibility.

    Together, we’ll build tools that help you feel more grounded in your body, calmer in your mind, and safer in the moment. Mindfulness won’t erase what happened - but it can help you respond to life from a place of choice, rather than survival.

  • Narrative Therapy

    After trauma, it’s common to feel like your story has been defined by pain, shame, or what others did to you. Narrative Therapy helps you take back authorship of your life. Together, we explore the stories you’ve been told - and the ones you’ve told yourself - so we can begin to reshape them with truth, strength, and self-compassion.

    This approach doesn’t deny what happened, it honors it while helping you reconnect with the parts of your story that reflect your resilience, values, and hopes for the future. You are more than what you’ve been through. You deserve to reclaim your voice.

  • Internal Family Systems

    When we experience trauma, parts of us often step in to protect us - sometimes by shutting down, getting angry, or staying constantly alert. These parts aren’t bad. In fact, they’ve worked hard to keep us safe. But over time, their strategies can leave us feeling stuck, conflicted, or overwhelmed.

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, powerful approach that helps you connect with these inner parts—not to get rid of them, but to understand and unburden them. As you build trust and compassion within yourself, healing becomes possible from the inside out.

    All of your parts are welcome here - especially the ones that think they’re not.

  • Art Therapy

    Sometimes, words aren’t enough - or feel too hard to find. Art Therapy offers a safe, creative way to explore and express what you’re feeling, even when it’s hard to talk about. Using drawing, painting, collage, or other materials, we gently tap into your inner world and help process emotions stored deep within.

    You don’t need to be an artist. You just need to be open to using creativity as a path to healing. In Art Therapy, the focus is never on the final product - it’s on the process, the insights, and the space to feel seen without pressure or judgment.

    Trauma may have silenced parts of you. Art can help bring them back into the light.

  • Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

    When we go through something overwhelming or traumatic, our brain doesn’t always process it fully. The memory - and the emotions tied to it - can stay stuck. Bilateral Desensitization Therapy uses gentle left-right stimulation (like tapping, sound, or eye movements) to help your brain process those memories in a safer, more adaptive way.

    This technique helps reduce the emotional charge of painful experiences without needing to talk about every detail. Over time, those memories feel less intense, and you feel more grounded and in control.

    It’s not about forgetting what happened - it’s about helping your nervous system let go of what it no longer needs to hold.
