Individual Therapy
EMDR and trauma-informed therapy for individual adult clients experiencing burnout, depression and anxiety, trauma symptoms, or a desire to find more satisfaction and balance in life.
When most of us think of trauma, we think of big incidents—car crashes, assaults, natural disasters. From a neurobiological perspective, however, trauma is anything our nervous system experiences as an overwhelming threat from which we can’t protect ourselves. Seen this way, trauma is relevant to all of us. Much of the anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, and emotional exhaustion that brings people to therapy is connected to some form of trauma.
As a therapist working from a trauma-informed perspective, I’m a bit of a regulation geek. I believe a regulated nervous system is the foundation of wellbeing. When our nervous system gets locked in fight-or-flight, or when we shut down, numb out, or dissociate through much of our lives, we can’t learn, we can’t connect with others, we can’t grow, and we can’t experience joy, contentment, or a sense of purpose. So whether we are doing Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) to work through a traumatic experience, accessing the unconscious during a psychedelic session, or simply exploring your relationship patterns and attachment needs, I will always prioritize helping your body feel safe and making sure you have the resources you need to stay regulated and connected.
My approach will take you deep. We’ll dive underneath the layers of thoughts and behaviors to the core wounds that are holding you back. Talk therapy has its limits. I want to offer you something more, therapy that incorporates your whole being, from your body to the deepest reaches of your unconscious.
You’ve forgotten what your life was supposed to be about—
but you’re pretty sure it wasn’t this. You feel like you can’t breathe. You’d give anything to find some rest, but the pressure of responsibilities on the outside and perfectionism on the inside won’t let up.
