If you’re wondering: “how can therapy help me?”
I am here to try to answer that question! I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed care tailored to the unique experiences of women & the LGBTQ+ community navigating the effects of attachment wounds, relationship abuse, and other past hurts
-
If you feel like you are constantly on high alert or stuck in a loop of painful memories, your nervous system is likely still trying to protect you from the past. I provide a safe, collaborative space to help you move out of survival mode and finally find a sense of true internal safety.
-
Past hurts in relationships can make it feel impossible to trust others—or even yourself—leading to patterns of people-pleasing or isolation. We will work together to heal those original wounds, quiet your inner critic, and build the confidence to create secure, healthy connections.
-
Sometimes talking about the past isn't enough because trauma is stored in the brain and body, not just in your thoughts. Through EMDR, we use a specialized, evidence-based process to “file away” traumatic memories, allowing you to finally put the past behind you.
Plus, EMDR isn’t just for trauma and PTSD. It can tackle a range of persistent mental health concerns.
-
While trauma is often the root, it tends to show up in other ways. We can also work through:
Anxiety & Panic: Calming the nervous system's "alarm" response.
Depression: Finding a way through the heaviness and "shut down" of long-term survival.
Self-Worth: Healing the inner critic that tells you that you aren't enough.
Grief: Accepting the reality of what happened and coping with what was lost
-
In my experience, those who have experienced trauma frequently report difficulties consistent with OCD. I have specialized training in treating OCD which I can provide alongside our trauma work.
