  • individual therapy is a space to understand what’s happening, recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work toward meaningful change. you don’t need to come in knowing exactly what’s “wrong,” why you feel the way you do, or what type of therapy you need. we can start with what’s happening now and figure out the rest together.

    clients come to me for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and overthinking, depression, difficulty regulating emotions, trauma and difficult past experiences, substance use, eating and body image concerns, perfectionism, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. sometimes there is a clear problem you want to address. other times, you may be functioning reasonably well on the outside while recognizing that something in your life, relationships, or relationship with yourself isn’t working the way you want it to.

    our work will look different depending on what you need. we might examine patterns in how you think, cope, or relate to others; build concrete skills for managing difficult emotions; process experiences that continue to affect you; practice new ways of responding to familiar situations; or get curious about the function of a behavior that you understand intellectually but still haven’t been able to change. I primarily draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches, but treatment is individualized rather than built around a single therapy model.

    insight is an important part of therapy, but understanding why you do something doesn’t always make it easier to stop. my goal is to help you make sense of yourself while also figuring out what needs to happen for something to actually change.

  • sometimes an experience is technically in the past, but it doesn’t feel entirely finished. certain situations, memories, sensations, or interactions may bring up emotions or reactions that feel much bigger than what is happening in the present. you might understand logically that you’re safe or that something is over while noticing that another part of you still responds as though it isn’t.

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed for trauma and PTSD. It can be used to help the brain process distressing experiences that continue to influence present-day emotions, beliefs, physical reactions, or patterns of behavior.

    EMDR isn’t limited to experiences that you would necessarily describe as a single major trauma. depending on the person and the presenting concern, our work may focus on experiences involving loss, relationships, rejection, shame, fear, difficult childhood experiences, or other events that continue to carry emotional weight. we’ll determine together whether EMDR is clinically appropriate for what you’re experiencing rather than assuming it is the right approach simply because something difficult happened.

    EMDR also involves more than immediately identifying a difficult memory and beginning reprocessing. we’ll spend time understanding what you’re experiencing, identifying relevant patterns and experiences, preparing for the work, and making sure you have the resources you need before moving forward. you remain aware and in control throughout the process, and EMDR does not require repeatedly recounting every detail of an experience aloud.

    for some clients, EMDR may be the primary focus of our work. for others, it can be incorporated into ongoing psychotherapy alongside other approaches.

  • most relationship problems aren’t as simple as one person being the problem and the other person being right. more often, couples become caught in patterns: one person responds in a particular way, the other reacts, and over time the same conflict begins playing out in different forms.

    couples therapy gives us space to slow those interactions down and understand what is actually happening between you. we may work on communication, recurring conflict, emotional connection, trust, boundaries, intimacy, major transitions, differences in needs or expectations, or patterns that leave one or both partners feeling misunderstood or disconnected.

    my role isn’t to take sides or determine who wins an argument. it’s to help both partners better understand the dynamics of the relationship, recognize their own role within those dynamics, and develop more effective ways of communicating and responding to one another. that can involve learning concrete communication skills, identifying what tends to happen underneath recurring arguments, practicing different responses in session, and having conversations that may be difficult to have productively on your own.

    I draw from Gottman Method principles alongside my broader clinical approach to help couples better understand both what they are arguing about and how they have learned to interact when something important is at stake. the goal isn’t to eliminate disagreement; it’s to help you navigate it differently and build a relationship that works better for both of you.
