Counseling
You’ve probably tried to make changes on your own—or even been in therapy before—but it still feels like something is “off.” Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same patterns with loved ones, exhausted from always giving too much, or shutting down when things feel overwhelming.
Here, you won’t get quick-fixes or cookie-cutter advice. Together, we’ll slow down, go deeper, and understand the why behind your struggles. My focus is on helping you reconnect with yourself so you can build more fulfilling, authentic relationships and finally feel more at home in your own life.
Therapy That Gets to the Heart of What’s Holding You Back
I specialize in working with women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who:
Grew up feeling emotionally unseen or overly responsible for others
Feel stuck in people-pleasing or perfectionism
Struggle with self-worth and self-doubt
Experience anxiety, depression, or a constant sense of emptiness
Have difficulty setting boundaries with family, partners, or friends
Long to feel more grounded and connected to themselves
Therapy with me is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on what you most want to change.
My style is gentle and curious, helping you explore past experiences at your own pace.
We’ll look at how your history shapes your present patterns and practice new, more supportive ways of relating to yourself and others.
What to Expect:
A safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space
Support in discovering your inner strengths and resilience
Lasting change and transformation shifts from within that comes from compassion and insight — not pressure
A Note on Developmental Trauma:
Developmental trauma is a term used to describe the effects of exposure and experience of stressful events in childhood. These deep, impactful experiences or traumas can manifest into adulthood by way of many symptoms and issues such as: relational issues, feeling safe in our relationships, even if there is evidence to point to them being healthy; negative self image or self esteem, feelings of loneliness, worthlessness or helplessness; symptoms of anxiety or depression, ptsd; emotional dysregulation such as anger, rage, sensitivity; choosing ways to cope that we know is not healthy for us; grief; somatic/body issues; as well as other symptoms that impact our adult lives that we can’t seem to connect a root to.
What if my childhood was OK and I have a good relationship with my family now?
Impactful experiences happen to us not only within our families, but in our relationships with our peers, schools, communities and cultures. Since birth, our nervous systems learn through relationship with others, how to gage for safety in the world we interact with. We’re quick emotional learners and sometimes the meaning we make from these experiences can impact us profoundly.
Experiential work - your key to process and heal from trauma:
Experiential focus –
the modalities I used in the therapy room are rooted in the present moment, we aren’t just walking around or talking your past pain points—we’re targeting how they come up for you in the present.Accessing implicit/unconscious material –
Whether we use an eye position in Brainspotting, identifying and targeting specific symptom activation in Coherence Therapy, or building the attachment experience while holding space for your emotions in Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), these therapies help my clients contact deeper, emotional learnings and core meanings that aren’t always accessible to use on a cognitive or “thinking” level.Working with emotional “core” or origins –
Each therapy I apply looks beyond surface behaviors and thoughts to help clients uncover deeper impactful experiences in our lives that drive current problems.Focus on transformation vs. symptom management –
Rather than us spending time on teaching you coping skills my aim is to support your change at a deeper psychological level, so clients may feel genuinely different — not just manage their feelings better (surface level supports).Client-centered and collaborative –
I will follow your process closely and attune to what emerges for you emotionally, creating a sense of safety and connection that allows the deeper work to happen, you won’t have to do it alone. We will collaborate and discover your inner world together to make sense of it, to process emotions, and to work towards your goals for balance within your relationship with yourself and with others.
Your past doesn’t have to define your future…
