A space to heal, grow, and feel more like yourself.
You don’t have to untangle everything on your own. I offer warm, thoughtful therapy for adults who want relief from anxiety or depression, support through grief and loss, healing from trauma, and help with the patterns that keep relationships and daily life feeling hard. My style is compassionate, direct, practical, and engaged—I’m here to help you feel safe, seen, and capable of real change.
Who I work with
People come to me for many reasons, including:
- Trauma and PTSD, including complex/childhood trauma
- Sexuality and Intimacy
- Anxiety, panic, worry, perfectionism
- Depression, numbness, low motivation
- Grief and loss (recent or long-standing)
- Communication issues and conflict patterns
- Unresolved childhood wounds and attachment injuries
- Spiritual or values conflicts
- Chronic stress, burnout, and life transitions
- Anger—either too much or too little access to it
You’re welcome here as you are. I work inclusively with clients of all identities and relationship structures.
How therapy helps
Symptoms are signals. Together we slow down, listen closely, and work at the root—so change holds. Using attachment and experiential approaches (including AEDP and EMDR), we’ll help your nervous system settle, process what’s been too much to carry alone, and build new emotional and relational experiences that shift how you feel, think, and relate.
You can expect:
- Safety and care. A steady, respectful relationship where your feelings make sense.
- Depth that’s doable. We go at a pace that’s challenging but not overwhelming.
- Real skills. Tools for calming your body, naming needs, and staying connected when emotions run high.
- Lasting change. Not just coping—transforming old patterns into new possibilities.
My approach
Attachment-informed therapy
Early relationships shape how we reach for others, set boundaries, and handle conflict. We’ll map your attachment patterns with compassion—not blame—and create experiences of reliable connection in the room. Over time, this helps soften defenses, deepen trust, and make closeness feel safer and more satisfying.
Experiential therapy
Insight matters, and so does what you feel in the moment. We pay attention to your body cues, emotions, and impulses as they arise. Practicing new responses—here, now—rewires stuck patterns faster than talking about them.
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy)
AEDP is a gentle, structured way to transform suffering through secure connection. We work with your core emotions (like sadness, anger, joy, fear) in manageable steps, so you can process pain, reclaim vitality, and experience waves of relief and self-compassion. Many clients describe AEDP sessions as intense in a good way—deep, alive, and surprisingly hopeful.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
When trauma or overwhelming experiences don’t fully process, the nervous system stays on high alert. EMDR helps the brain reprocess those memories so they feel “in the past” rather than happening now. We begin with careful preparation—stabilization skills, resourcing, and collaboration—then use bilateral stimulation (eye movements or taps) to reduce distress and install healthier beliefs about yourself. EMDR can be effective for single-incident traumas and complex, long-term histories.
What sessions are like
- First session: We clarify what brings you in, your history, and what “better” looks like. You’ll leave with a plan and initial tools.
- Ongoing work: We use a mix of conversation, gentle emotional work, body awareness, skill-building, and (when appropriate) EMDR reprocessing.
- Pace & consent: You set the speed. We check in often and adjust so therapy stays effective and emotionally safe.
- Between sessions: I may suggest brief practices to help your progress stick—simple, doable, and tailored to you.
People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, work towards self-change and create greater awareness in their lives.

Getting started
If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and yourself, let’s talk. Reach out to schedule a consultation and we’ll see if we’re a good fit. If I’m not the right provider, I’ll help you find someone who is.
You’re not “too much,” “too broken,” or too late. With the right support, your system knows how to heal—and we’ll help it do just that.
