EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy that can help the brain process distressing experiences that continue to affect your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. I use EMDR to help clients work through traumatic memories, painful beliefs, and patterns that may have developed from overwhelming experiences. EMDR can be especially helpful for people who feel stuck despite having insight into their experiences.

Psychodynamic 

Psychodynamic therapy explores how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns shape the way you see yourself and interact with the world. Together, we can examine recurring themes, relationship patterns, emotional responses, and beliefs about yourself that may no longer serve you. This approach is designed for people who want to develop deeper self-understanding, heal old wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach that helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself that hold emotions, beliefs, and protective strategies. Rather than viewing parts of yourself as problems to eliminate, IFS helps you develop curiosity, compassion, and greater integration. This approach can be especially helpful for people struggling with shame, self-criticism, trauma, relationship patterns, or feeling stuck despite understanding themselves intellectually.

Self-Esteem

Many people struggle with self-esteem not because they lack accomplishments or strengths, but because they carry a deep sense of being inadequate, different, or not enough. I work with clients who are highly self-critical, struggle with shame, compare themselves to others, or feel disconnected from their own worth. Therapy can help you develop greater self-trust, self-compassion, and a more stable sense of who you are.

Women's Issues

I have experience working with issues that disproportionately impact women, including PCOS/PMOS, endometriosis, hEDS, chronic health conditions, caregiver burnout, and the challenges of navigating leadership and managerial roles as a woman. I also work with women exploring relationship dynamics, domestic labor inequities, and the emotional impact of balancing achievement, caregiving, health, and personal identity.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

Relationships often bring our deepest hopes and vulnerabilities to the surface. I work with individuals and couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, trust, intimacy, attachment patterns, and repeating relationship dynamics. Therapy can help you better understand yourself and your partner, express your needs more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and build relationships that feel more secure, connected, and fulfilling.

Polyamorous and Open Relationships

Polyamorous relationships can bring up meaningful questions about trust, attachment, self-worth, communication, and boundaries. I support individuals and couples exploring consensual non-monogamy, whether you are navigating relationship challenges, opening a relationship, or exploring what relationship structures fit your values. My approach is curious, compassionate, and nonjudgmental.

Chronic Pain or Illness

Living with chronic pain or complex health conditions can affect every area of life — your relationships, identity, energy, work, and sense of self. I work with clients navigating conditions that are often misunderstood or difficult to diagnose, including chronic pain, hypermobility, and other invisible illnesses. Therapy can help you process grief, frustration, and uncertainty while developing self-compassion, coping strategies, and a more supportive relationship with your body.
